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.

The polymorphic_allocator::construct member function does uses-allocator construction, so that the elements of a container using a polymorphic_allocator will use that same allocator for their own allocations. For example, a std::pmr::vector<std::pmr::string> will use the same memory_resource for the vector's storage and each string's storage.

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.
