History
In earlier versions of C++ there was no such thing as placement new; instead, developers used explicit assignment to this within constructors to achieve similar effect. This practice has been deprecated and abolished later, and third edition of The C++ Programming Language doesn't mention this technique. Support for placement new operator has been added to compilers circa 1995.
