std::experi...or::allocate(3)

🦋 std::experi...or::allocate(3) — the allocate page, but make it cute 🦋

okay so bestie, this is the std::experi...or::allocate(3) manual page from the C++ Standard Libary — yep, that’s the header spelling, and I’m leaving it exactly as it is, no cap. The actual star of the show is std::experimental::pmr::polymorphic_allocator::allocate, and she’s literally the same name in the NAME section because that’s how this page rolls. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

std::experimental::pmr::polymorphic_allocator::allocate — that’s the whole name, bestie. It’s giving long-name main character energy, and yes, it appears again because NAME said so. 👑

🦋 Synopsis 🦋

Here’s the signature, copied exactly because we do not play with code:

T* allocate( std::size_t n );  (library fundamentals TS)

She allocates storage for n objects of type T using the underlying memory resource. Equivalent to:

return static_cast<T*>(this->resource()->allocate(n * sizeof(T), alignof(T)));.

That trailing period after the semicolon is part of the original line, okay? Keep it. 🫶

🍓 Parameters 🍓

• n — the number of objects to allocate storage for. That’s the whole parameter tea. 🍓

💜 Return value 💜

A pointer to the allocated storage. Periodt, that’s the return value. 💜

👑 See also 👑

• allocate — allocates uninitialized storage using the allocator. [static] (public static member function of std::allocator_traits<Alloc>). 👑
• deallocate — deallocates memory (public member function of std::experimental::pmr::memory_resource). 💅

🌈 Category 🌈

• * Noindexed pages — the category, exactly as it appears. 🌈
