Create a default‐constructed object of (template parameter) `TARGET_TYPE` at the specified `address`. If `allocator` is a `bslma`‐compatible allocator and `TARGET_TYPE` supports `bslma`‐style allocation, `allocator` is passed to the default extended constructor; otherwise, `allocator` is ignored. If the constructor throws, the memory at `address` is left in an unspecified state. The behavior is undefined unless `address` refers to a block that is of sufficient size and properly aligned for objects of `TARGET_TYPE`.
