{{lowercase|title=Placement new (C++)}}
In the [[C++]] [[programming language]], placement new is a form of the [[New_(C++)|new]] operator that allows object construction into an existing [[memory]] buffer. Unlike other forms of <code>new</code>, the new object does not have to be in heap [[memory]]. The [[Pointer (computing)|pointer]] returned by placement new is the [[Pointer (computing)|pointer]] provided as an argument, [[Type_conversion|cast]] to the type of the new object and possibly initialized.
