23.12.2 Class memory_­resource [mem.res.class]

The memory_­resource class is an abstract interface to an unbounded set of classes encapsulating memory resources.
class memory_resource {
  static constexpr size_t max_align = alignof(max_align_t); // exposition only

public:
  virtual ~memory_resource();

  void* allocate(size_t bytes, size_t alignment = max_align);
  void deallocate(void* p, size_t bytes, size_t alignment = max_align);

  bool is_equal(const memory_resource& other) const noexcept;

private:

  virtual void do_deallocate(void* p, size_t bytes, size_t alignment) = 0;

  virtual bool do_is_equal(const memory_resource& other) const noexcept = 0;
};

23.12.2.1 memory_­resource public member functions [mem.res.public]

~memory_resource();
Effects: Destroys this memory_­resource.
void* allocate(size_t bytes, size_t alignment = max_align);
Effects: Equivalent to: return do_­allocate(bytes, alignment);
void deallocate(void* p, size_t bytes, size_t alignment = max_align);
Effects: Equivalent to: do_­deallocate(p, bytes, alignment);
bool is_equal(const memory_resource& other) const noexcept;
Effects: Equivalent to: return do_­is_­equal(other);

23.12.2.2 memory_­resource private virtual member functions [mem.res.private]

virtual void* do_allocate(size_t bytes, size_t alignment) = 0;
Requires: alignment shall be a power of two.
Returns: A derived class shall implement this function to return a pointer to allocated storage ([basic.stc.dynamic.deallocation]) with a size of at least bytes.
The returned storage is aligned to the specified alignment, if such alignment is supported ([basic.align]); otherwise it is aligned to max_­align.
Throws: A derived class implementation shall throw an appropriate exception if it is unable to allocate memory with the requested size and alignment.
virtual void do_deallocate(void* p, size_t bytes, size_t alignment) = 0;
Requires: p shall have been returned from a prior call to allocate(bytes, alignment) on a memory resource equal to *this, and the storage at p shall not yet have been deallocated.
Effects: A derived class shall implement this function to dispose of allocated storage.
Throws: Nothing.
virtual bool do_is_equal(const memory_resource& other) const noexcept = 0;
Returns: A derived class shall implement this function to return true if memory allocated from this can be deallocated from other and vice-versa, otherwise false.
[Note
:
The most-derived type of other might not match the type of this.
For a derived class D, a typical implementation of this function will immediately return false if dynamic_­cast<const D*>(&other) == nullptr.
end note
]

23.12.2.3 memory_­resource equality [mem.res.eq]

bool operator==(const memory_resource& a, const memory_resource& b) noexcept;
Returns: &a == &b || a.is_­equal(b).
bool operator!=(const memory_resource& a, const memory_resource& b) noexcept;
Returns: !(a == b).

23.12.3 Class template polymorphic_­allocator [mem.poly.allocator.class]

A specialization of class template pmr​::​polymorphic_­allocator conforms to the Allocator requirements ([allocator.requirements]).
Constructed with different memory resources, different instances of the same specialization of pmr​::​polymorphic_­allocator can exhibit entirely different allocation behavior.
This runtime polymorphism allows objects that use polymorphic_­allocator to behave as if they used different allocator types at run time even though they use the same static allocator type.
template <class Tp>
class polymorphic_allocator {
  memory_resource* memory_rsrc; // exposition only

  polymorphic_allocator&
    operator=(const polymorphic_allocator& rhs) = delete;

23.12.3.1 polymorphic_­allocator constructors [mem.poly.allocator.ctor]

polymorphic_allocator() noexcept;
Effects: Sets memory_­rsrc to get_­default_­resource().
polymorphic_allocator(memory_resource* r);
Requires: r is non-null.
Effects: Sets memory_­rsrc to r.
Throws: Nothing.
[Note
:
This constructor provides an implicit conversion from memory_­resource*.
end note
]
template <class U> polymorphic_allocator(const polymorphic_allocator<U>& other) noexcept;
Effects: Sets memory_­rsrc to other.resource().

23.12.3.2 polymorphic_­allocator member functions [mem.poly.allocator.mem]

Tp* allocate(size_t n);
Returns: Equivalent to
return static_cast<Tp*>(memory_rsrc->allocate(n * sizeof(Tp), alignof(Tp)));
void deallocate(Tp* p, size_t n);
Requires: p was allocated from a memory resource x, equal to *memory_­rsrc, using x.allocate(n * sizeof(Tp), alignof(Tp)).
Effects: Equivalent to memory_­rsrc->deallocate(p, n * sizeof(Tp), alignof(Tp)).
Throws: Nothing.
template <class T, class... Args> void construct(T* p, Args&&... args);
Requires: Uses-allocator construction of T with allocator resource() (see [allocator.uses.construction]) and constructor arguments std​::​forward<Args>(args)... is well-formed.
[Note
:
Uses-allocator construction is always well formed for types that do not use allocators.
end note
]
Effects: Construct a T object in the storage whose address is represented by p by uses-allocator construction with allocator resource() and constructor arguments std​::​forward<Args>(args)....
Throws: Nothing unless the constructor for T throws.
template <class T1, class T2, class... Args1, class... Args2> void construct(pair<T1,T2>* p, piecewise_construct_t, tuple<Args1...> x, tuple<Args2...> y);
[Note
:
This method and the construct methods that follow are overloads for piecewise construction of pairs ([pairs.pair]).
end note
]
Effects: Let xprime be a tuple constructed from x according to the appropriate rule from the following list.
[Note
:
The following description can be summarized as constructing a pair<T1, T2> object in the storage whose address is represented by p, as if by separate uses-allocator construction with allocator resource() ([allocator.uses.construction]) of p->first using the elements of x and p->second using the elements of y.
end note
]
  • If uses_­allocator_­v<T1,memory_­resource*> is false
    and is_­constructible_­v<T1,Args1...> is true,
    then xprime is x.
  • Otherwise, if uses_­allocator_­v<T1,memory_­resource*> is true
    and is_­constructible_­v<T1,allocator_­arg_­t,memory_­resource*,Args1...> is true,
    then xprime is tuple_­cat(make_­tuple(allocator_­arg, resource()), std​::​move(x)).
  • Otherwise, if uses_­allocator_­v<T1,memory_­resource*> is true
    and is_­constructible_­v<T1,Args1...,memory_­resource*> is true,
    then xprime is tuple_­cat(std​::​move(x), make_­tuple(resource())).
  • Otherwise the program is ill formed.
Let yprime be a tuple constructed from y according to the appropriate rule from the following list:
  • If uses_­allocator_­v<T2,memory_­resource*> is false
    and is_­constructible_­v<T2,Args2...> is true,
    then yprime is y.
  • Otherwise, if uses_­allocator_­v<T2,memory_­resource*> is true
    and is_­constructible_­v<T2,allocator_­arg_­t,memory_­resource*,Args2...> is true,
    then yprime is tuple_­cat(make_­tuple(allocator_­arg, resource()), std​::​move(y)).
  • Otherwise, if uses_­allocator_­v<T2,memory_­resource*> is true
    and is_­constructible_­v<T2,Args2...,memory_­resource*> is true,
    then yprime is tuple_­cat(std​::​move(y), make_­tuple(resource())).
  • Otherwise the program is ill formed.
Then, using piecewise_­construct, xprime, and yprime as the constructor arguments, this function constructs a pair<T1, T2> object in the storage whose address is represented by p.
template <class T1, class T2> void construct(pair<T1,T2>* p);
Effects: Equivalent to:
construct(p, piecewise_construct, tuple<>(), tuple<>());
template <class T1, class T2, class U, class V> void construct(pair<T1,T2>* p, U&& x, V&& y);
Effects: Equivalent to:
construct(p, piecewise_construct,
          forward_as_tuple(std::forward<U>(x)),
          forward_as_tuple(std::forward<V>(y)));
template <class T1, class T2, class U, class V> void construct(pair<T1,T2>* p, const pair<U, V>& pr);
Effects: Equivalent to:
construct(p, piecewise_construct,
          forward_as_tuple(pr.first),
          forward_as_tuple(pr.second));
template <class T1, class T2, class U, class V> void construct(pair<T1,T2>* p, pair<U, V>&& pr);
Effects: Equivalent to:
construct(p, piecewise_construct,
          forward_as_tuple(std::forward<U>(pr.first)),
          forward_as_tuple(std::forward<V>(pr.second)));
template <class T> void destroy(T* p);
Effects: As if by p->~T().
polymorphic_allocator select_on_container_copy_construction() const;
Returns: polymorphic_­allocator().
[Note
:
The memory resource is not propagated.
end note
]
memory_resource* resource() const;
Returns: memory_­rsrc.

23.12.3.3 polymorphic_­allocator equality [mem.poly.allocator.eq]

template <class T1, class T2> bool operator==(const polymorphic_allocator<T1>& a, const polymorphic_allocator<T2>& b) noexcept;
Returns: *a.resource() == *b.resource().
template <class T1, class T2> bool operator!=(const polymorphic_allocator<T1>& a, const polymorphic_allocator<T2>& b) noexcept;
Returns: !(a == b).

23.12.4 Access to program-wide memory_­resource objects [mem.res.global]

memory_resource* new_delete_resource() noexcept;
Returns: A pointer to a static-duration object of a type derived from memory_­resource that can serve as a resource for allocating memory using ​::​operator new and ​::​operator delete.
The same value is returned every time this function is called.
For a return value p and a memory resource r, p->is_­equal(r) returns &r == p.
memory_resource* null_memory_resource() noexcept;
Returns: A pointer to a static-duration object of a type derived from memory_­resource for which allocate() always throws bad_­alloc and for which deallocate() has no effect.
The same value is returned every time this function is called.
For a return value p and a memory resource r, p->is_­equal(r) returns &r == p.
The default memory resource pointer is a pointer to a memory resource that is used by certain facilities when an explicit memory resource is not supplied through the interface.
Its initial value is the return value of new_­delete_­resource().
memory_resource* set_default_resource(memory_resource* r) noexcept;
Effects: If r is non-null, sets the value of the default memory resource pointer to r, otherwise sets the default memory resource pointer to new_­delete_­resource().
Postconditions: get_­default_­resource() == r.
Returns: The previous value of the default memory resource pointer.
Remarks: Calling the set_­default_­resource and get_­default_­resource functions shall not incur a data race.
A call to the set_­default_­resource function shall synchronize with subsequent calls to the set_­default_­resource and get_­default_­resource functions.
memory_resource* get_default_resource() noexcept;
Returns: The current value of the default memory resource pointer.

23.12.5 Pool resource classes [mem.res.pool]

23.12.5.1 Classes synchronized_­pool_­resource and unsynchronized_­pool_­resource [mem.res.pool.overview]

The synchronized_­pool_­resource and unsynchronized_­pool_­resource classes (collectively called pool resource classes) are general-purpose memory resources having the following qualities:
  • Each resource frees its allocated memory on destruction, even if deallocate has not been called for some of the allocated blocks.
  • A pool resource consists of a collection of pools, serving requests for different block sizes.
    Each individual pool manages a collection of chunks that are in turn divided into blocks of uniform size, returned via calls to do_­allocate.
    Each call to do_­allocate(size, alignment) is dispatched to the pool serving the smallest blocks accommodating at least size bytes.
  • When a particular pool is exhausted, allocating a block from that pool results in the allocation of an additional chunk of memory from the upstream allocator (supplied at construction), thus replenishing the pool.
    With each successive replenishment, the chunk size obtained increases geometrically.
    [Note
    :
    By allocating memory in chunks, the pooling strategy increases the chance that consecutive allocations will be close together in memory.
    end note
    ]
  • Allocation requests that exceed the largest block size of any pool are fulfilled directly from the upstream allocator.
  • A pool_­options struct may be passed to the pool resource constructors to tune the largest block size and the maximum chunk size.
A synchronized_­pool_­resource may be accessed from multiple threads without external synchronization and may have thread-specific pools to reduce synchronization costs.
An unsynchronized_­pool_­resource class may not be accessed from multiple threads simultaneously and thus avoids the cost of synchronization entirely in single-threaded applications.
struct pool_options {
  size_t max_blocks_per_chunk = 0;
  size_t largest_required_pool_block = 0;
};

class synchronized_pool_resource : public memory_resource {

  bool do_is_equal(const memory_resource& other) const noexcept override;
};

23.12.5.2 pool_­options data members [mem.res.pool.options]

The members of pool_­options comprise a set of constructor options for pool resources.
The effect of each option on the pool resource behavior is described below:
size_t max_blocks_per_chunk;
The maximum number of blocks that will be allocated at once from the upstream memory resource ([mem.res.monotonic.buffer]) to replenish a pool.
If the value of max_­blocks_­per_­chunk is zero or is greater than an implementation-defined limit, that limit is used instead.
The implementation may choose to use a smaller value than is specified in this field and may use different values for different pools.
size_t largest_required_pool_block;
The largest allocation size that is required to be fulfilled using the pooling mechanism.
Attempts to allocate a single block larger than this threshold will be allocated directly from the upstream memory resource.
If largest_­required_­pool_­block is zero or is greater than an implementation-defined limit, that limit is used instead.
The implementation may choose a pass-through threshold larger than specified in this field.

23.12.5.3 Pool resource constructors and destructors [mem.res.pool.ctor]

synchronized_pool_resource(const pool_options& opts, memory_resource* upstream); unsynchronized_pool_resource(const pool_options& opts, memory_resource* upstream);
Requires: upstream is the address of a valid memory resource.
Effects: Constructs a pool resource object that will obtain memory from upstream whenever the pool resource is unable to satisfy a memory request from its own internal data structures.
The resulting object will hold a copy of upstream, but will not own the resource to which upstream points.
[Note
:
The intention is that calls to upstream->allocate() will be substantially fewer than calls to this->allocate() in most cases.
end note
]
The behavior of the pooling mechanism is tuned according to the value of the opts argument.
Throws: Nothing unless upstream->allocate() throws.
It is unspecified if, or under what conditions, this constructor calls upstream->allocate().
virtual ~synchronized_pool_resource(); virtual ~unsynchronized_pool_resource();
Effects: Calls release().

23.12.5.4 Pool resource members [mem.res.pool.mem]

void release();
Effects: Calls upstream_­resource()->deallocate() as necessary to release all allocated memory.
[Note
:
The memory is released back to upstream_­resource() even if deallocate has not been called for some of the allocated blocks.
end note
]
memory_resource* upstream_resource() const;
Returns: The value of the upstream argument provided to the constructor of this object.
pool_options options() const;
Returns: The options that control the pooling behavior of this resource.
The values in the returned struct may differ from those supplied to the pool resource constructor in that values of zero will be replaced with implementation-defined defaults, and sizes may be rounded to unspecified granularity.
void* do_allocate(size_t bytes, size_t alignment) override;
Returns: A pointer to allocated storage ([basic.stc.dynamic.deallocation]) with a size of at least bytes.
The size and alignment of the allocated memory shall meet the requirements for a class derived from memory_­resource ([mem.res]).
Effects: If the pool selected for a block of size bytes is unable to satisfy the memory request from its own internal data structures, it will call upstream_­resource()->allocate() to obtain more memory.
If bytes is larger than that which the largest pool can handle, then memory will be allocated using upstream_­resource()->allocate().
Throws: Nothing unless upstream_­resource()->allocate() throws.
void do_deallocate(void* p, size_t bytes, size_t alignment) override;
Effects: Returns the memory at p to the pool.
It is unspecified if, or under what circumstances, this operation will result in a call to upstream_­resource()->deallocate().
Throws: Nothing.
bool synchronized_pool_resource::do_is_equal( const memory_resource& other) const noexcept override;
Returns: this == dynamic_­cast<const synchronized_­pool_­resource*>(&other).
bool unsynchronized_pool_resource::do_is_equal( const memory_resource& other) const noexcept override;
Returns: this == dynamic_­cast<const unsynchronized_­pool_­resource*>(&other).

23.12.6 Class monotonic_­buffer_­resource [mem.res.monotonic.buffer]

A monotonic_­buffer_­resource is a special-purpose memory resource intended for very fast memory allocations in situations where memory is used to build up a few objects and then is released all at once when the memory resource object is destroyed.
It has the following qualities:
  • A call to deallocate has no effect, thus the amount of memory consumed increases monotonically until the resource is destroyed.
  • The program can supply an initial buffer, which the allocator uses to satisfy memory requests.
  • When the initial buffer (if any) is exhausted, it obtains additional buffers from an upstream memory resource supplied at construction.
    Each additional buffer is larger than the previous one, following a geometric progression.
  • It is intended for access from one thread of control at a time.
    Specifically, calls to allocate and deallocate do not synchronize with one another.
  • It frees the allocated memory on destruction, even if deallocate has not been called for some of the allocated blocks.
class monotonic_buffer_resource : public memory_resource {
  memory_resource *upstream_rsrc; // exposition only

  size_t next_buffer_size;        // exposition only

public:

23.12.6.1 monotonic_­buffer_­resource constructor and destructor [mem.res.monotonic.buffer.ctor]

explicit monotonic_buffer_resource(memory_resource* upstream); monotonic_buffer_resource(size_t initial_size, memory_resource* upstream);
Requires: upstream shall be the address of a valid memory resource.
initial_­size, if specified, shall be greater than zero.
Effects: Sets upstream_­rsrc to upstream and current_­buffer to nullptr.
If initial_­size is specified, sets next_­buffer_­size to at least initial_­size; otherwise sets next_­buffer_­size to an implementation-defined size.
monotonic_buffer_resource(void* buffer, size_t buffer_size, memory_resource* upstream);
Requires: upstream shall be the address of a valid memory resource.
buffer_­size shall be no larger than the number of bytes in buffer.
Effects: Sets upstream_­rsrc to upstream, current_­buffer to buffer, and next_­buffer_­size to buffer_­size (but not less than 1), then increases next_­buffer_­size by an implementation-defined growth factor (which need not be integral).
~monotonic_buffer_resource();
Effects: Calls release().

23.12.6.2 monotonic_­buffer_­resource members [mem.res.monotonic.buffer.mem]

void release();
Effects: Calls upstream_­rsrc->deallocate() as necessary to release all allocated memory.
[Note
:
The memory is released back to upstream_­rsrc even if some blocks that were allocated from this have not been deallocated from this.
end note
]
memory_resource* upstream_resource() const;
Returns: The value of upstream_­rsrc.
void* do_allocate(size_t bytes, size_t alignment) override;
Returns: A pointer to allocated storage ([basic.stc.dynamic.deallocation]) with a size of at least bytes.
The size and alignment of the allocated memory shall meet the requirements for a class derived from memory_­resource ([mem.res]).
Effects: If the unused space in current_­buffer can fit a block with the specified bytes and alignment, then allocate the return block from current_­buffer; otherwise set current_­buffer to upstream_­rsrc->allocate(n, m), where n is not less than max(bytes, next_­buffer_­size) and m is not less than alignment, and increase next_­buffer_­size by an implementation-defined growth factor (which need not be integral), then allocate the return block from the newly-allocated current_­buffer.
Throws: Nothing unless upstream_­rsrc->allocate() throws.
void do_deallocate(void* p, size_t bytes, size_t alignment) override;
Effects: None.
Throws: Nothing.
Remarks: Memory used by this resource increases monotonically until its destruction.
bool do_is_equal(const memory_resource& other) const noexcept override;
Returns: this == dynamic_­cast<const monotonic_­buffer_­resource*>(&other).
