template<classT>classpolymorphic_allocator;(since C++17)
(until C++20)template<classT=std::byte>classpolymorphic_allocator;(since C++20)The class template std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator is an
which exhibits different allocation behavior depending upon the
from which it is constructed. Since memory_resource uses runtime polymorphism to manage allocations, different container instances with polymorphic_allocator as their static allocator type are interoperable, but can behave as if they had different allocator types.
All specializations of polymorphic_allocator meet the
allocator completeness requirements
.
The polymorphic_allocator::construct member function does
, so that the elements of a container using a polymorphic_allocator will use that same allocator for their own allocations. For example, a std::pmr::vector<std::pmr::string> will use the same memory_resource for the vector's storage and each string's storage.
For non-polymorphic allocators, similar propagation can be achieved with the help of
.

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.
