std::allocator_traits(3)

NAME
std::allocator_traits - std::allocator_traits

Synopsis
   Defined in header <memory>
   template< class Alloc > (since C++11)
   struct allocator_traits;
   The allocator_traits class template provides the standardized way to access various
   properties of Allocators. The standard containers and other standard library
   components access allocators through this template, which makes it possible to use
   any class type as an allocator, as long as the user-provided specialization of
   allocator_traits implements all required functionality.
   The default, non-specialized, allocator_traits contains the following members:

Member alias templates
   Type Definition
   rebind_alloc<T> Alloc::rebind<T>::other if present, otherwise Alloc<T, Args> if
                    this Alloc is Alloc<U, Args>

Member functions
   allocate allocates uninitialized storage using the
   [static] allocator
                        (public static member function)
   deallocate deallocates storage using the allocator
   [static] (public static member function)
   construct constructs an object in the allocated storage
   [static] (function template)
   destroy destructs an object stored in the allocated
   [static] storage
                        (function template)
   max_size returns the maximum object size supported by
   [static] the allocator
                        (public static member function)
   select_on_container_copy_construction obtains the allocator to use after copying a
   [static] standard container
                        (public static member function)
  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 2108 C++11 there was no way to show an allocator is_always_equal provided
                       is stateless
