Everything about Placement syntax
C++ syntax for specifying placement of objects in memory
Placement syntax in the C++ programming language refers to the syntax for explicitly specifying the memory management of individual objects. Normally, when an object is created dynamically, an allocation function is invoked in such a way that it will both allocate memory for the object, and initialize the object within the newly allocated memory. The placement syntax allows the programmer to supply additional arguments to the allocation function. A common use is to supply a pointer to a suitable region of storage where the object can be initialized, thus separating memory allocation from object construction. Wikipedia →
