T* allocate( std::size_t n );		(since C++17)

Allocates storage for n objects of type T using the underlying memory resource. Equivalent to return static_cast<T*>(resource()->allocate(n * sizeof(T), alignof(T)));.

Parameters

n

-

the number of objects to allocate storage for

Return value

A pointer to the allocated storage.

Exceptions

Throws std::bad_array_new_length if n > std::numeric_limits<std::size_t>::max() / sizeof(T); may also throw any exceptions thrown by the call to resource()->allocate.

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 3038	C++17	allocate might allocate storage of wrong size	throws length_error instead
LWG 3237	C++17	the exception thrown by allocate was inconsistent with std::allocator::allocate	made consistent
