std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator

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

The class template std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator is an Allocator 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.

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.
