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

✨ NAME ✨

std::experimental::pmr::polymorphic_allocator::destroy — okay so literally the whole name is just std::experimental::pmr::polymorphic_allocator::destroy, like it's the destroy member of std::experimental::pmr::polymorphic_allocator 🎀 that's the vibe, that's the whole thing, bestie 💅

💖 Synopsis 💖

template< class U >    (library fundamentals TS)
void destroy( U* p );

So it's a template over class U, and it lives in the library fundamentals TS — yes, the experimental one, the one that's giving "yes I'm in the standard library but make it ✨tentative✨" 🌸

And what does it do? It destroys the object pointed to by p, as if by calling p->~U(). That's it. That's the whole function. No cap, it literally just calls the destructor for you 🫶

🦋 Parameters 🦋

• p — pointer to the object being destroyed. That's the one. That's the only one. Hand it a pointer, it ends that object's whole career 💀

👑 See also 👑

• destroy — destructs an object stored in the allocated storage, [static] (function template) ⭐

🌈 Category 🌈

• Noindexed pages 🙈 (yes, that's really the category, we don't make the rules)

slay, you now understand a tiny experimental allocator member function, and honestly? iconic behavior 🧚
