Constructs an object in allocated, but not initialized storage pointed to by p the provided constructor arguments. If the object is of type that itself uses allocators, or if it is std::pair, passes `this->resource()` down to the constructed object.

1) If std::uses_allocator <U, memory_resource*>::value == false (the type `U` does not use allocators) and std::is_constructible <U, Args...>::value == true, then constructs the object as if by ::new((void *) p) U( std::forward <Args>(args)...);.

Otherwise, if std::uses_allocator <U, memory_resource*>::value == true (the type `U` uses allocators, e.g. it is a container) and std::is_constructible <U, std::allocator_arg_t, memory_resource*, Args...>::value == true, then constructs the object as if by ::new((void *) p) U( std::allocator_arg, this->resource(), std::forward <Args>(args)...);.

Otherwise, if std::uses_allocator <U, memory_resource*>::value == true (the type `U` uses allocators, e.g. it is a container) and std::is_constructible <U, Args..., memory_resource*>::value == true, then constructs the object as if by ::new((void *) p) U( std::forward <Args>(args)..., this->resource());.

Otherwise, the program is ill-formed.

2) First, if either `T1` or `T2` is allocator-aware, modifies the tuples x and y to include `this->resource()`, resulting in the two new tuples `xprime` and `yprime`, according to the following three rules:

2a) if `T1` is not allocator-aware (std::uses_allocator <T1, memory_resource*>::value == false) and std::is_constructible <T1, Args1...>::value == true, then `xprime` is x, unmodified.

2b) if `T1` is allocator-aware (std::uses_allocator <T1, memory_resource*>::value == true), and its constructor takes an allocator tag (std::is_constructible <T1, std::allocator_arg_t, memory_resource*, Args1...>::value == true, then `xprime` is std::tuple_cat ( std::make_tuple ( std::allocator_arg, this->resource()), std::move(x)).

2c) if `T1` is allocator-aware (std::uses_allocator <T1, memory_resource*>::value == true), and its constructor takes the allocator as the last argument (std::is_constructible <T1, Args1..., memory_resource*>::value == true), then `xprime` is std::tuple_cat (std::move(x), std::make_tuple (this->resource())).

2d) Otherwise, the program is ill-formed.

Same rules apply to `T2` and the replacement of y with `yprime`.

Once `xprime` and `yprime` are constructed, constructs the pair p in allocated storage as if by ::new((void *) p) pair<T1, T2>( std::piecewise_construct, std::move(xprime), std::move(yprime));.

3) Equivalent to construct(p, std::piecewise_construct, std::tuple <>(), std::tuple <>()), that is, passes the memory resource on to the pair's member types if they accept them.

4) Equivalent to

construct(p, std::piecewise_construct, std::forward_as_tuple ( std::forward <U>(x)),
std::forward_as_tuple ( std::forward <V>(y)))

5) Equivalent to

construct(p, std::piecewise_construct, std::forward_as_tuple (xy.first),
std::forward_as_tuple (xy.second))

6) Equivalent to

construct(p, std::piecewise_construct, std::forward_as_tuple ( std::forward <U>(xy.first)),
std::forward_as_tuple ( std::forward <V>(xy.second)))

### Parameters

p | - | pointer to allocated, but not initialized storage
args... | - | the constructor arguments to pass to the constructor of `T`
x | - | the constructor arguments to pass to the constructor of `T1`
y | - | the constructor arguments to pass to the constructor of `T2`
xy | - | the pair whose two members are the constructor arguments for `T1` and `T2`

### Return value

(none)

### Notes

This function is called (through std::allocator_traits) by any allocator-aware object, such as std::vector, that was given a std::polymorphic_allocator as the allocator to use. Since `memory_resource*` implicitly converts to `polymorphic_allocator`, the memory resource pointer will propagate to any allocator-aware subobjects using polymorphic allocators.
