std::vector::get_allocator

allocator_type get_allocator() const;
allocator_type get_allocator() const noexcept;
Get allocator
Returns a copy of the allocator object associated with the vector.

Parameters

none

Return Value

The allocator.

Member type allocator_type is the type of the allocator used by the container, defined in vector as an alias of its second template parameter (Alloc).

// vector::get_allocator
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main ()
{
  std::vector<int> myvector;
  int * p;
  unsigned int i;

  // allocate an array with space for 5 elements using vector's allocator:
  p = myvector.get_allocator().allocate(5);

  // construct values in-place on the array:
  for (i=0; i<5; i++) myvector.get_allocator().construct(&p[i],i);

  std::cout << "The allocated array contains:";
  for (i=0; i<5; i++) std::cout << ' ' << p[i];
  std::cout << '\n';

  // destroy and deallocate:
  for (i=0; i<5; i++) myvector.get_allocator().destroy(&p[i]);
  myvector.get_allocator().deallocate(p,5);

  return 0;
}
The example shows an elaborate way to allocate memory for an array of ints using the same allocator used by the vector. Output:
The allocated array contains: 0 1 2 3 4


Complexity

Constant.

Iterator validity

No changes.

Data races

The container is accessed.
No contained elements are accessed: concurrently accessing or modifying them is safe.

Exception safety

No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.
Copying any instantiation of the default allocator is also guaranteed to never throw.
