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) Creates an object of the given type `U` by means of uses-allocator construction at the uninitialized memory location indicated by p, using *this as the allocator. This overload only participates in overload resolution if `U` is not a specialization of std::pair. (until C++20)

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

(until C++20)

### 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::pmr::vector (or another std::vector that was given a `std::std::polymorphic_allocator` as the allocator to use).

### Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior
--- | --- | --- | ---
LWG 2969 | C++17 | uses-allocator construction passed `resource()` | passes `*this`
LWG 2975 | C++17 | first overload is mistakenly used for pair construction in some cases | constrained to not accept pairs
