Defined in header <memory_resource>
std::pmr::memory_resource* set_default_resource( std::pmr::memory_resource* r ) noexcept;		(since C++17)

If r is not null, sets the default memory resource pointer to r; otherwise, sets the default memory resource pointer to std::pmr::new_delete_resource().

The default memory resource pointer is used by certain facilities when an explicit memory resource is not supplied. The initial default memory resource pointer is the return value of std::pmr::new_delete_resource.

This function is thread-safe. Every call to std::pmr::set_default_resource synchronizes with (see std::memory_order) the subsequent std::pmr::set_default_resource and std::pmr::get_default_resource calls.

Return value

Returns the previous value of the default memory resource pointer.
