<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
Originally the Boost function templates <code>allocate_shared</code> and
<code>make_shared</code> were for efficient allocation of shared scalar
objects only. There was a need to have efficient allocation of shared
arrays. One criticism of class template <code>shared_array</code>
was always the lack of a utility like <code>make_shared</code> that
uses only a single allocation.
</p>
<p>
The header files &lt;boost/smart_ptr/allocate_shared_array.hpp&gt; and
&lt;boost/smart_ptr/make_shared_array.hpp&gt; provide function
templates, overloads of <code>allocate_shared</code> and
<code>make_shared</code> for array types, to address this need.
<code>allocate_shared</code> uses a user-supplied allocator for
allocation, while <code>make_shared</code> uses
<code>allocate_shared</code> with the Default Allocator.

<h2>Common Requirements</h2>
<h3><code>template&lt;class T, class A&gt;<br>shared_ptr&lt;T&gt;
allocate_shared(const A&amp; a, <em>args</em>);</code></h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Requires:</strong></dt>
<dd><code>T</code> is of the form <code>E[N]</code> or
<code>E[]</code>. <code>A</code> shall be an <em>Allocator</em>, as
described in section 17.6.3.5 [Allocator requirements] of the C++
Standard. The copy constructor and destructor of <code>A</code> shall
not throw exceptions.</dd>
<dt><strong>Effects:</strong></dt>
<dd>Allocates storage for an object of type <code>E</code> (or
<code>E[size]</code> when <code>T</code> is <code>E[]</code>, where
<code>size</code> is determined from <code>args</code> as specified by
the concrete overload). A copy of the allocator is used to allocate
storage. The storage is initialized as specified by the concrete
overload. If an exception is thrown, the functions have no effect.</dd>
<dt><strong>Returns:</strong></dt>
<dd>A <code>shared_ptr</code> instance that stores and owns the address
of the newly allocated and constructed object.</dd>
<dt><strong>Postconditions:</strong></dt>
<dd><code>r.get() != 0</code> and <code>r.use_count() == 1</code>,
where <code>r</code> is the return value.</dd>
<dt><strong>Throws:</strong></dt>
<dd>An exception thrown from <code>A::allocate()</code>, or from the
initialization of the object.</dd>
<dt><strong>Remarks:</strong></dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li>This implementation performs no more than one memory allocation.
This provides efficiency to equivalent to an intrusive smart
pointer.</li>
<li>When an object of an array type <code>T</code> is specified to be
initialized to a value of the same type <code>v</code>, this shall be
interpreted to mean that each array element of the object is initialized
to the corresponding element from <code>v</code>.</li>
<li>When an object of an array type <code>T</code> is specified to be
value-initialized, this shall be interpreted to mean that each array
element of the object is value-initialized.</li>
<li>Array elements are initialized in ascending order of their
addresses.</li>
<li>When a subobject of a scalar type <code>S</code> is specified to
be initialized to a value <code>v</code>, <code>allocate_shared</code>
shall perform this initialization via the expression
<code>std::allocator_traits&lt;A&gt;::construct(b, p, v)</code>, where
<code>p</code> points to storage suitable to hold an object of type
<code>S</code> and <code>b</code> of is a copy of the allocator
<code>a</code> passed to <code>allocate_shared</code> such that its
<code>value_type</code> is <code>S</code>.</li>
<li>When a subobject of scalar type <code>S</code> is specified to be
value-initialized, <code>allocate_shared</code> shall perform this
initialization via the expression
<code>std::allocator_traits&lt;A&gt;::construct(b, p)</code>, where
<code>p</code> points to storage suitable to hold an object
of type <code>S</code> and <code>b</code> is a copy of the allocator
<code>a</code> passed to <code>allocate_shared</code> such that its
<code>value_type</code> is <code>S</code>.</li>
<li>When a subobject of scalar type <code>S</code> is specified to be
default-initialized, <code>allocate_shared_noinit</code> shall perform
this initialization via the expression <code>::new(p) S</code>, where
<code>p</code> has type <code>void*</code> and points to storage
suitable to hold an object of type <code>S</code>.</li>
<li>When the lifetime of the object managed by the return value ends,
or when the initialization of an array element throws an exception,
the initialized elements should be destroyed in the reverse order
of their construction.</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Notes:</strong></dt>
<dd>These functions will typically allocate more memory than the size of
<code>sizeof(E)</code> to allow for internal bookkeeping structures such
as the reference counts.</dd>
