Defined in header <memory_resource>
template< class T > class polymorphic_allocator;		(since C++17) (until C++20)
template< class T = std::byte > class polymorphic_allocator;		(since C++20)

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.

Member functions

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

Non-member functions

operator==operator!= (removed in C++20)

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.
