std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator(3)

NAME
std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator - std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator

Synopsis
   Defined in header <memory_resource>
   template< class T > (since C++17)
   class polymorphic_allocator; (until C++20)
   template< class T = std::byte > (since C++20)
   class polymorphic_allocator;
   The class template std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator is an Allocator which exhibits
   different allocation behavior depending upon the std::pmr::memory_resource from
   which it is constructed. Since memory_resource uses runtime polymorphism to manage
   allocations, different container instances with polymorphic_allocator as their
   static allocator type are interoperable, but can behave as if they had different
   allocator types.
   All specializations of polymorphic_allocator meet the Allocator completeness
   requirements.
   The polymorphic_allocator::construct member function does uses-allocator
   construction, so that the elements of a container using a polymorphic_allocator will
   use that same allocator for their own allocations. For example, a
   std::pmr::vector<std::pmr::string> will use the same memory_resource for the
   vector's storage and each string's storage.

Member functions
   constructor Constructs a polymorphic_allocator
                        (public member function)
   destructor Implicitly declared destructor
   (implicitly declared) (public member function)
   operator= Copy assignment operator is deleted
   [deleted] (public member function)

Public member functions
   allocate Allocate memory
                        (public member function)
   deallocate Deallocate memory
                        (public member function)
   construct Constructs an object in allocated storage
                        (public member function)
   destroy Destroys an object in allocated storage
   (deprecated in C++20) (public member function)
   allocate_bytes Allocate raw aligned memory from the
   (C++20) underlying resource
                        (public member function)
   deallocate_bytes Free raw memory obtained from allocate_bytes
   (C++20) (public member function)
   allocate_object Allocates raw memory suitable for an object or
   (C++20) an array
                        (public member function)
   deallocate_object Frees raw memory obtained by allocate_object
   (C++20) (public member function)
   new_object Allocates and constructs an object
   (C++20) (public member function)
   delete_object Destroys and deallocates an object
   (C++20) (public member function)
                        Create a new polymorphic_allocator for use by
   select_on_container_copy_construction a container's copy constructor
                        (public member function)
                        Returns a pointer to the underlying memory
   resource resource
                        (public member function)

Non-member functions
   operator== compare two polymorphic_allocators
   operator!= (function)
   (removed in C++20)

Notes
   polymorphic_allocator does not propagate on container copy assignment, move
   assignment, or swap. As a result, move assignment of a polymorphic_allocator-using
   container can throw, and swapping two polymorphic_allocator-using containers whose
   allocators do not compare equal results in undefined behavior.
