Thanks for the Memory

Product Information

All standard library components that need to allocate storage (with the exception of std::array, std::shared_ptr and std::function) do so via an allocator. That includes (not surprisingly) the STL dynamic containers; and also components like std::string.

This means different instances of a polymorphic_allocator may have completely different memory-allocation facilities (as defined by their associated memory_resource). But to a container, they appear as identical types. Memory resources Exhausting memory in the pool causes the next allocation request for that pool to allocate an additional chunk of memory from the upstream allocator to replenish the pool. The chunk size obtained increases geometrically. Note, now our vectors have the same type – polymorphic_allocator– so both vectors are seen as the same type; and hence the subsequent assignment succeeds.

Credits

The song was parodied as "Thanks for the Medicare" on one episode of the 1980s NBC-TV sitcom The Golden Girls. Estelle Getty's character, Sophia Petrillo, sang these lyrics to the melody of the song: "Thanks for the Medicare/For Blue Cross and Blue Shield/For a hip that finally healed/Remember, on prescriptions, generic is a steal/We thank you so much." The allocator is a template class; with the template parameter being the type of object being allocated. template

Frank Sinatra recorded an extended version of the song with altered lyrics for his 1981 album, She Shot Me Down.Notice the Allocator template parameter is defaulted to std::allocator. This Allocator implementation uses the free store as its memory resource.

Thanks for the Memory" was released on 7" vinyl by Polydor Records in the UK, Ireland, across Europe, Scandinavia, Yugoslavia, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. [10] [11] The B-side, "Raining in My Champagne", was exclusive to the single and would later appear on the band's 2007 compilation B-Sides. Although the song was a non-album single elsewhere, it was included on the United States Warner Bros. Records release of Slade in Flame in 1975. At the time of writing these features are experimental, and may not yet be implemented. In GCC 8.1 only new_delete_resource and null_resource are implemented. Using polymorphic allocators Bob Hope and Shirley Ross sing the title tune that they first sang just months before this in "The Big Broadcast of 1938." Here' it's a duet they sing warmly as a couple in love. By the next year, Hope would adopt it as his theme song for the rest of his life. That song and the considerable cast are what earn this film my seven stars. Those folks include Hedda Hopper, Otto Kruger, Charles Butterworth, Roscoe Karns, Eddie (Rochester) Anderson, Edward Gargan and more. The allocator is responsible for managing raw memory storage; and also for constructing / destroying allocated objects. C++ uses Allocator to define a set of requirements, rather than an actual type. Any type that fulfils the requirements of Allocator can be used for memory allocation/deallocation by containers (etc).

Did You Know?

The song was used a special version for the closing of NBC Nightly News as Tom Brokaw appears his final broadcast in December 1, 2004. Bonus materials on the Region A Blu-ray release from Kino Lorber Studio Classics include the following:

It is this final element – Allocators – that we will be looking at in this article. In particular the changes to the Allocator model brought in with C++17. Containers and allocators

Cast

Since Allocator defines a set of requirements, we can implement our own allocator type. This is useful since many embedded projects, particularly high-integrity ones, preclude the use of heap (or more specifically, the malloc algorithm) as a memory resource.
