Polymorphic Memory Resources (A Revision of N3525 – Polymorphic Allocators)

by Pablo Halpern

Excerpt:

This proposal builds upon the improvements made to allocators in C++11 and describes a set of facilities for runtime polymorphic memory resources that interoperate with the existing compile-time polymorphic allocators. In addition, this proposal improves the interface and allocation semantics of some library classes, such as std::function, that use type erasure for allocators.
