1) Copies value to an uninitialized memory area [firstlast) as if by

for (; first != last; ++first)
    ::new (voidify (*first)) std::remove_reference_t <std::iter_reference_t <I>>(value);
return first;

If an exception is thrown during the initialization, the objects already constructed are destroyed in an unspecified order.
2) Equivalent to return ranges::uninitialized_fill(ranges::begin (r), ranges::end (r), value);.

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

[edit] Parameters

first, last - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the range of elements to initialize
r - the range of the elements to initialize
value - the value to construct the elements with

[edit] Return value

As described above.

[edit] Complexity

Linear in the size of the uninitialized memory area.

[edit] Exceptions

Any exception thrown on construction of the elements in the destination range.

[edit] Notes

An implementation may improve the efficiency of the ranges::uninitialized_fill, e.g. by using ranges::fill , if the value type of the output range is TrivialType.

[edit] Possible implementation

struct uninitialized_fill_fn
{
 template<no-throw-forward-iterator I, no-throw-sentinel-for<I> S, class T>
 requires std::constructible_from <std::iter_value_t <I>, const T&>
 constexpr I operator()(I first, S last, const T& value) const
 {
 I rollback{first};
 try
 {
 for (; !(first == last); ++first)
 ranges::construct_at (std::addressof (*first), value);
 return first;
 }
 catch (...)
 { 
 // rollback: destroy constructed elements
 for (; rollback != first; ++rollback)
 ranges::destroy_at (std::addressof (*rollback));
 throw;
 }
 }
 
 template<no-throw-forward-range R, class T>
 requires std::constructible_from <ranges::range_value_t <R>, const T&>
 constexpr ranges::borrowed_iterator_t <R> operator()(R&& r, const T& value) const
 {
 return (*this)(ranges::begin (r), ranges::end (r), value);
 }
};
 
inline constexpr uninitialized_fill_fn uninitialized_fill{};

[edit] Example

Run this code
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
 constexpr int n{4};
 alignas(alignof(std::string )) char out[n * sizeof(std::string )];
 
 try
 {
 auto first{reinterpret_cast<std::string *>(out)};
 auto last{first + n};
 std::ranges::uninitialized_fill(first, last, "▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀");
 
 int count{1};
 for (auto it{first}; it != last; ++it)
 std::cout << count++ << ' ' << *it << '\n';
 
 std::ranges::destroy (first, last);
 }
 catch(...)
 {
 std::cout << "Exception!\n";
 }
}

Output:

1 ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
2 ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
3 ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
4 ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
