Defined in header <memory_resource>
template< class T > class polymorphic_allocator;		(since C++17)

The class template std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator is an Template:concept whose allocation behavior depends on the memory resource it is constructed with. Thus, different instances of polymorphic_allocator can exhibit entirely different allocation behavior. This runtime polymorphism allows objects using polymorphic_allocator to behave as if they used different allocator types at run time despite the identical static allocator type.

Member types

Member type	definition
value_type	T

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)(undeprecated in C++26)	destroys an object in allocated storage (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.
