std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator

| template< class T = std::byte > class polymorphic_allocator; | (since C++20) | |
The class template std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator is an Allocator whose allocation behavior depends on the memory resource it is constructed with. Thus, different instances of polymorphic_allocator can exhibit entirely different allocation behavior. This runtime polymorphism allows objects using polymorphic_allocator to behave as if they used different allocator types at run time despite the identical static allocator type.
All specializations of polymorphic_allocator meet the Allocator completeness requirements.
Member types

| value_type | T | 
Member functions
| Constructs a polymorphic_allocator(public member function) | |
| (destructor) (implicitly declared) | Implicitly declared destructor (public member function) | 
| operator= [deleted] | Copy assignment operator is deleted (public member function) | 
| Public member functions | |
| Allocate memory (public member function) | |
| Deallocate memory (public member function) | |
| Constructs an object in allocated storage (public member function) | |
| Destroys an object in allocated storage (public member function) | |
| (C++20) | Allocate raw aligned memory from the underlying resource (public member function) | 
| (C++20) | Free raw memory obtained from allocate_bytes (public member function) | 
| (C++20) | Allocates raw memory suitable for an object or an array (public member function) | 
| (C++20) | Frees raw memory obtained by allocate_object (public member function) | 
| (C++20) | Allocates and constructs an object (public member function) | 
| (C++20) | Destroys and deallocates an object (public member function) | 
| Create a new polymorphic_allocatorfor use by a container's copy constructor(public member function) | |
| Returns a pointer to the underlying memory resource (public member function) | |
Non-member functions
| compare two polymorphic_allocators(function) | 
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.
