std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator::allocate - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

Allocates storage for n objects of type T using the underlying memory resource. Equivalent to return static_cast<T*>(resource()->allocate(n * sizeof(T), alignof(T)));.

[edit] Parameters

n - the number of objects to allocate storage for

[edit] Return value

A pointer to the allocated storage.

[edit] Exceptions

Throws std::bad_array_new_length if n > std::numeric_limits<std::size_t>::max() / sizeof(T); may also throw any exceptions thrown by the call to resource()->allocate.

[edit] 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 3038 C++17 allocate might allocate storage of wrong size throws length_error instead
LWG 3237 C++17 the exception thrown by allocate was inconsistent with std::allocator::allocate made consistent
