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:

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