std::uses_allocator

Defined in header `<memory>`
template< class T, class Alloc > struct uses_allocator		(since C++11)

If T has a member typedef allocator_type which is convertible from Alloc or is an alias of std::experimental::erased_type (library fundamentals TS), provides the member constant value equal to true. Otherwise value is false.

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value

[static]

true if T uses allocator Alloc, false otherwise
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator bool	converts the object to bool, returns `value` (public member function)
operator() (C++14)	returns `value` (public member function)

Member types

Type	Definition
`value_type`	`bool`
`type`	std::integral_constant<bool, value>

[edit] Specializations

Custom specializations of the type trait std::uses_allocator are allowed for types that do not have the member typedef allocator_type but satisfy one of the following two requirements:

1) T has a constructor which takes std::allocator_arg_t as the first argument, and Alloc as the second argument.

2) T has a constructor which takes Alloc as the last argument.

In the above, Alloc is a type that satisfies Allocator or is a pointer type convertible to std::experimental::pmr::memory_resource* (library fundamentals TS).

The following specializations are already provided by the standard library:

std::uses_allocator<std::tuple> (C++11)	specializes the std::uses_allocator type trait (class template specialization)
std::uses_allocator<std::queue> (C++11)	specializes the std::uses_allocator type trait (function template)
std::uses_allocator<std::priority_queue> (C++11)	specializes the std::uses_allocator type trait (function template)
std::uses_allocator<std::stack> (C++11)	specializes the std::uses_allocator type trait (function template)
std::uses_allocator<std::function> (C++11)	specializes the std::uses_allocator type trait (class template specialization)
std::uses_allocator<std::promise> (C++11)	specializes the std::uses_allocator type trait (class template specialization)
std::uses_allocator<std::packaged_task> (C++11)	specializes the std::uses_allocator type trait (class template specialization)

[edit] Notes

This type trait is used by std::scoped_allocator_adaptor and may be used by custom allocators to determine whether the object being constructed is itself capable of using an allocator (e.g. is a container), in which case an allocator should be passed to its constructor.
