For the definition of /*execution-policy*/, see this page; for the definition of /*sized-random-access-range*/, see this page.

Replaces the elements (projected by proj) in the target range [firstlast) or r with new_value if they satisfy specific criteria.

1,2) replace replaces all elements that are equal to old_value (using operator==).
3,4) replace_if replaces all elements for which predicate pred returns true.
5-8) Same as (1-4), but executed according to policy.

If new_value is not writable to first, the program is ill-formed.

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:

Parameters

first, last - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the target range
r - the target range
old_value - the value of elements to replace
new_value - the value to use as a replacement
pred - predicate to be applied to the projected elements
proj - the projection to be applied to the elements
policy - the execution policy to use

Return value

The past-the-end iterator of the target range.

Complexity

Given N as ranges::distance(first, last) or ranges::distance(r):

1,2) Exactly N comparisons using operator==, and exactly N applications of proj.
3,4) Exactly N applications of pred and proj.
5,6) 𝓞(N) comparisons using operator==, and 𝓞(N) applications of proj.
7,8) 𝓞(N) applications of pred and proj.

Exceptions

5-8) During the execution process:
  • If the temporary memory resources required for parallelization are not available, std::bad_alloc is thrown.
  • If an uncaught exception is thrown while accessing objects via an algorithm argument, the behavior is determined by the execution policy (for standard policies, std::terminate is invoked).

Notes

Because the algorithm takes old_value and new_value by reference, it may have unexpected behavior if either is a reference to an element of the target range.
