NAME

       libmemkind::pmem::allocator<T>  -  The  C++  allocator  compatible  with  the C++ standard
       library allocator concepts
       Note: pmem_allocator.h functionality is considered as stable API (STANDARD API).

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pmem_allocator.h>

       Link with -lmemkind

       libmemkind::pmem::allocator(const char *dir, size_t max_size);
       libmemkind::pmem::allocator(const char &dir, size_t max_size, libmemkind::allocation_policy alloc_policy);
       libmemkind::pmem::allocator(const std::string &dir, size_t max_size);
       libmemkind::pmem::allocator(const std::string &dir, size_t max_size, libmemkind::allocation_policy alloc_policy);
       template <typename U> libmemkind::pmem::allocator<T>::allocator(const libmemkind::pmem::allocator<U>&) noexcept;
       template <typename U> libmemkind::pmem::allocator(const allocator<U>&& other) noexcept;
       libmemkind::pmem::allocator<T>::~allocator();
       T *libmemkind::pmem::allocator<T>::allocate(std::size_t n) const;
       void libmemkind::pmem::allocator<T>::deallocate(T *p, std::size_t n) const;
       template <class U, class... Args> void libmemkind::pmem::allocator<T>::construct(U *p, Args... args) const;
       void libmemkind::pmem::allocator<T>::destroy(T *p) const;

DESCRIPTION

       The libmemkind::pmem::allocator<T> is intended to be used with STL containers to  allocate
       persistent  memory.  Memory  management  is based on memkind_pmem (memkind library). Refer
       memkind_pmem(3) and memkind(3) man page for more details.

       The libmemkind::allocation_policy specifies allocator memory usage policy, which allows to
       tune up memory utilization. The available types of allocator usage policy:

       libmemkind::allocation_policy::DEFAULT Default allocator memory usage policy.

       libmemkind::allocation_policy::CONSERVATIVE  Conservative  allocator memory usage policy -
       prioritize memory usage at cost of performance.

       All public member types and functions corresponds to standard library  allocator  concepts
       and definitions. The current implementation supports C++11 standard.

       Template arguments:
       T is an object type aliased by value_type.
       U is an object type.

       Note:
       T  *libmemkind::pmem::allocator<T>::allocate(std::size_t  n)  allocates  persistent memory
       using memkind_malloc().  Throw std::bad_alloc when:
              n = 0
              or there is not enough memory to satisfy the request.

       libmemkind::pmem::allocator<T>::deallocate(T  *p,  std::size_t   n)   deallocates   memory
       associated with pointer returned by allocate() using memkind_free().
