Type-erased and polymorphic allocators

Polymorphic allocators and memory resources

The entities in this section are declared in the std::experimental::pmr namespace.

Defined in header <experimental/memory_resource>
an abstract interface for classes that encapsulate memory resources
(class)
a thread-safe memory_resource for managing allocations in pools of different block sizes
(class)
a thread-unsafe memory_resource for managing allocations in pools of different block sizes
(class)
a special-purpose memory_resource that releases the allocated memory only when the resource is destroyed
(class)
an allocator that supports run-time polymorphism based on the memory_resource it is constructed with
(class template)
returns a static program-wide memory_resource that uses the global operator new and operator delete to allocate and deallocate memory
(function)
returns a static memory_resource that performs no allocation
(function)
gets the default memory_resource
(function)
sets the default memory_resource
(function)

Convenience aliases for containers using polymorphic allocators
