20 Memory management library [mem]

20.2 Memory [memory]

20.2.1 In general [memory.general]

1
#
Subclause [memory] describes the contents of the header <memory> and some of the contents of the header <cstdlib>.

20.2.2 Header <memory> synopsis [memory.syn]

1
#
The header <memory> defines several types and function templates that describe properties of pointers and pointer-like types, manage memory for containers and other template types, destroy objects, and construct objects in uninitialized memory buffers ([pointer.traits]–[specialized.addressof] and [specialized.algorithms]).
The header also defines the templates unique_ptr, shared_ptr, weak_ptr, out_ptr_t, inout_ptr_t, and various function templates that operate on objects of these types ([smartptr]).

#
Let POINTER_OF(T) denote a type that is
  • (2.1)
    T​::​pointer if the qualified-id T​::​pointer is valid and denotes a type,
  • (2.2)
    otherwise, T​::​element_type* if the qualified-id T​::​element_type is valid and denotes a type,
  • (2.3)
    otherwise, pointer_traits<T>​::​element_type*.

#
Let POINTER_OF_OR(T, U) denote a type that is:
  • (3.1)
    POINTER_OF(T) if POINTER_OF(T) is valid and denotes a type,
  • (3.2)
    otherwise, U.

20.2.3 Pointer traits [pointer.traits]

20.2.3.1 General [pointer.traits.general]

1
#
The class template pointer_traits supplies a uniform interface to certain attributes of pointer-like types.
🔗
namespace std { template<class Ptr> struct pointer_traits { see below; }; template<class T> struct pointer_traits<T*> { using pointer = T*; using element_type = T; using difference_type = ptrdiff_t; template<class U> using rebind = U*; static constexpr pointer pointer_to(see below r) noexcept; }; }

20.2.3.2 Member types [pointer.traits.types]

1
#
The definitions in this subclause make use of the following exposition-only class template and concept: template<class T> struct ptr-traits-elem // exposition only { }; template<class T> requires requires { typename T::element_type; } struct ptr-traits-elem<T> { using type = typename T::element_type; }; template<template<class...> class SomePointer, class T, class... Args> requires (!requires { typename SomePointer<T, Args...>::element_type; }) struct ptr-traits-elem<SomePointer<T, Args...>> { using type = T; }; template<class Ptr> concept has-elem-type = // exposition only requires { typename ptr-traits-elem<Ptr>::type; }
2
#
If Ptr satisfies has-elem-type, a specialization pointer_traits<Ptr> generated from the pointer_traits primary template has the following members as well as those described in [pointer.traits.functions]; otherwise, such a specialization has no members by any of those names.
🔗
using pointer = see below;
3
#
Type: Ptr.
🔗
using element_type = see below;
4
#
Type: typename ptr-traits-elem<Ptr>​::​type.
🔗
using difference_type = see below;
5
#
Type: Ptr​::​difference_type if the qualified-id Ptr​::​difference_type is valid and denotes a type ([temp.deduct]); otherwise, ptrdiff_t.
🔗
template<class U> using rebind = see below;
6
#
Alias template: Ptr​::​rebind<U> if the qualified-id Ptr​::​rebind<U> is valid and denotes a type ([temp.deduct]); otherwise, SomePointer<U, Args> if Ptr is a class template instantiation of the form SomePointer<T, Args>, where Args is zero or more type arguments; otherwise, the instantiation of rebind is ill-formed.

20.2.3.3 Member functions [pointer.traits.functions]

🔗
static pointer pointer_traits::pointer_to(see below r); static constexpr pointer pointer_traits<T*>::pointer_to(see below r) noexcept;
1
#
Mandates: For the first member function, Ptr​::​pointer_to(r) is well-formed.
2
#
Preconditions: For the first member function, Ptr​::​pointer_to(r) returns a pointer to r through which indirection is valid.
3
#
Returns: The first member function returns Ptr​::​pointer_to(r).
The second member function returns addressof(r).
4
#
Remarks: If element_type is cv void, the type of r is unspecified; otherwise, it is element_type&.

20.2.3.4 Optional members [pointer.traits.optmem]

1
#
Specializations of pointer_traits may define the member declared in this subclause to customize the behavior of the standard library.
A specialization generated from the pointer_traits primary template has no member by this name.
🔗
static element_type* to_address(pointer p) noexcept;
2
#
Returns: A pointer of type element_type* that references the same location as the argument p.
3
#
[Note 1: 
This function is intended to be the inverse of pointer_to.
If defined, it customizes the behavior of the non-member function to_address ([pointer.conversion]).
— end note]

20.2.4 Pointer conversion [pointer.conversion]

🔗
template<class T> constexpr T* to_address(T* p) noexcept;
1
#
Mandates: T is not a function type.
2
#
Returns: p.
🔗
template<class Ptr> constexpr auto to_address(const Ptr& p) noexcept;
3
#
Returns: pointer_traits<Ptr>​::​to_address(p) if that expression is well-formed (see [pointer.traits.optmem]), otherwise to_address(p.operator->()).

20.2.5 Pointer alignment [ptr.align]

🔗
void* align(size_t alignment, size_t size, void*& ptr, size_t& space);
1
#
Preconditions:
  • (1.1)
    alignment is a power of two
  • (1.2)
    ptr represents the address of contiguous storage of at least space bytes
2
#
Effects: If it is possible to fit size bytes of storage aligned by alignment into the buffer pointed to by ptr with length space, the function updates ptr to represent the first possible address of such storage and decreases space by the number of bytes used for alignment.
Otherwise, the function does nothing.
3
#
Returns: A null pointer if the requested aligned buffer would not fit into the available space, otherwise the adjusted value of ptr.
4
#
[Note 1: 
The function updates its ptr and space arguments so that it can be called repeatedly with possibly different alignment and size arguments for the same buffer.
— end note]
🔗
template<size_t N, class T> [[nodiscard]] constexpr T* assume_aligned(T* ptr);
5
#
Mandates: N is a power of two.
6
#
Preconditions: ptr points to an object X of a type similar ([conv.qual]) to T, where X has alignment N ([basic.align]).

[Note 2: 
The alignment assumption on an object X expressed by a call to assume_aligned might result in generation of more efficient code.
It is up to the program to ensure that the assumption actually holds.
The call does not cause the implementation to verify or enforce this.
An implementation might only make the assumption for those operations on X that access X through the pointer returned by assume_aligned.

20.2.6 Explicit lifetime management [obj.lifetime]

🔗
template<class T> T* start_lifetime_as(void* p) noexcept; template<class T> const T* start_lifetime_as(const void* p) noexcept; template<class T> volatile T* start_lifetime_as(volatile void* p) noexcept; template<class T> const volatile T* start_lifetime_as(const volatile void* p) noexcept;
1
#
Mandates: T is an implicit-lifetime type ([basic.types.general]) and not an incomplete type ([basic.types.general]).
2
#
Preconditions: [p, (char*)p + sizeof(T)) denotes a region of allocated storage that is a subset of the region of storage reachable through ([basic.compound]) p and suitably aligned for the type T.
3
#
Effects: Implicitly creates objects ([intro.object]) within the denoted region consisting of an object a of type T whose address is p, and objects nested within a, as follows: The object representation of a is the contents of the storage prior to the call to start_lifetime_as.
The value of each created object o of trivially-copyable type U is determined in the same manner as for a call to bit_cast<U>(E) ([bit.cast]), where E is an lvalue of type U denoting o, except that the storage is not accessed.
The value of any other created object is unspecified.
[Note 1: 
The unspecified value can be indeterminate.

#
Returns: A pointer to the a defined in the Effects paragraph.

5
#
Mandates: T is a complete type.
6
#
Preconditions: p is suitably aligned for an array of T or is null.
n <= size_t(-1) / sizeof(T) is true.
If n > 0 is true, [(char*)p, (char*)p + (n * sizeof(T))) denotes a region of allocated storage that is a subset of the region of storage reachable through ([basic.compound]) p.
7
#
Effects: If n > 0 is true, equivalent to start_lifetime_as<U>(p) where U is the type “array of n T”.
Otherwise, there are no effects.
8
#
Returns: A pointer to the first element of the created array, if any; otherwise, a pointer that compares equal to p ([expr.eq]).

20.2.7 Allocator argument tag [allocator.tag]

🔗
namespace std { struct allocator_arg_t { explicit allocator_arg_t() = default; }; inline constexpr allocator_arg_t allocator_arg{}; }
1
#
The allocator_arg_t struct is an empty class type used as a unique type to disambiguate constructor and function overloading.
Specifically, several types (see tuple [tuple]) have constructors with allocator_arg_t as the first argument, immediately followed by an argument of a type that meets the Cpp17Allocator requirements ([allocator.requirements.general]).

20.2.8 uses_allocator [allocator.uses]

20.2.8.1 uses_allocator trait [allocator.uses.trait]

🔗
template<class T, class Alloc> struct uses_allocator;
1
#
Remarks: Automatically detects whether T has a nested allocator_type that is convertible from Alloc.
Meets the Cpp17BinaryTypeTrait requirements ([meta.rqmts]).
The implementation shall provide a definition that is derived from true_type if the qualified-id T​::​allocator_type is valid and denotes a type ([temp.deduct]) and is_convertible_v<Alloc, T​::​allocator_type> != false, otherwise it shall be derived from false_type.
A program may specialize this template to derive from true_type for a program-defined type T that does not have a nested allocator_type but nonetheless can be constructed with an allocator where either:
  • (1.1)
    the first argument of a constructor has type allocator_arg_t and the second argument has type Alloc or
  • (1.2)
    the last argument of a constructor has type Alloc.

20.2.8.2 Uses-allocator construction [allocator.uses.construction]

1
#
Uses-allocator construction with allocator alloc and constructor arguments args... refers to the construction of an object of type T such that alloc is passed to the constructor of T if T uses an allocator type compatible with alloc.
When applied to the construction of an object of type T, it is equivalent to initializing it with the value of the expression make_obj_using_allocator<T>(alloc, args...), described below.
2
#
The following utility functions support three conventions for passing alloc to a constructor:
  • (2.1)
    If T does not use an allocator compatible with alloc, then alloc is ignored.
  • (2.2)
    Otherwise, if T has a constructor invocable as T(allocator_arg, alloc, args...) (leading-allocator convention), then uses-allocator construction chooses this constructor form.
  • (2.3)
    Otherwise, if T has a constructor invocable as T(args..., alloc) (trailing-allocator convention), then uses-allocator construction chooses this constructor form.
3
#
The uses_allocator_construction_args function template takes an allocator and argument list and produces (as a tuple) a new argument list matching one of the above conventions.
Additionally, overloads are provided that treat specializations of pair such that uses-allocator construction is applied individually to the first and second data members.
The make_obj_using_allocator and uninitialized_construct_using_allocator function templates apply the modified constructor arguments to construct an object of type T as a return value or in-place, respectively.
[Note 1: 
For uses_allocator_construction_args and make_obj_using_allocator, type T is not deduced and must therefore be specified explicitly by the caller.

  • (5.4)

An allocator cannot be a non-class type, however, even if allocator_traits supplies the entire required interface.

Thus, it is always possible to create a derived class from an allocator.
