<h2><a name="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
|
|
<p>One criticism of Boost <a href="shared_array.htm">shared_array</a> is
|
|
the lack of utility similar to <a href="make_shared.htm">make_shared</a>
|
|
which ensures only a single allocation for an array. A second criticism
|
|
is Boost <code>shared_array</code> does not support custom allocators
|
|
and so also lacks an <code>allocate_shared</code> utility.</p>
|
|
<p>The header files <boost/smart_ptr/make_shared_array.hpp> and
|
|
<boost/smart_ptr/allocate_shared_array.hpp> provide new function
|
|
templates, <code>make_shared</code> and <code>allocate_shared</code>,
|
|
to address this need. <code>make_shared</code> uses the global
|
|
operator <code>new</code> to allocate memory, whereas
|
|
<code>allocate_shared</code> uses an user-supplied allocator,
|
|
allowing finer control.</p>

<blockquote>
|
|
<p><b>Requires:</b> The expression
|
|
<code>new(pointer) T(std::forward<Args>(args)...)</code>, where
|
|
<code>pointer</code> is a <code>void*</code> pointing to storage
|
|
suitable to hold an object of type <code>T</code>, shall be
|
|
well-formed. <code>A</code> shall be an <em>Allocator</em>, as
|
|
described in section 20.1.5 (<strong>Allocator requirements</strong>)
|
|
of the C++ Standard. The copy constructor and destructor of
|
|
<code>A</code> shall not throw.</p>
|
|
<p><b>Effects:</b> Allocates memory suitable for an array of type
|
|
<code>T</code> and size <code>size</code> and constructs an array
|
|
of objects in it via the placement new expression
|
|
<code>new(pointer) T()</code> or
|
|
<code>new(pointer) T(std::forward<Args>(args)...)</code>.
|
|
<code>allocate_shared</code> uses a copy of
|
|
<code>allocator</code> to allocate memory. If an exception is thrown,
|
|
has no effect.</p>
|
|
<p><b>Returns:</b> A <code>shared_ptr</code> instance that stores and
|
|
owns the address of the newly constructed array of type <code>T</code>
|
|
and size <code>size</code>.</p>
|
|
<p><b>Postconditions:</b>
|
|
<code>get() != 0 && use_count() == 1</code>.</p>
|
|
<p><b>Throws:</b> <code>bad_alloc</code>, or an exception thrown from
|
|
<code>A::allocate</code> or the constructor of <code>T</code>.</p>
|
|
<p><b>Notes:</b> This implementation allocates the memory required for
|
|
the returned <code>shared_ptr</code> and an array of type
|
|
<code>T</code> of size <code>size</code> in a single allocation. This
|
|
provides efficiency to equivalent to an intrusive smart array
|
|
pointer.</p>
|
|
<p>The prototypes shown above are used if your compiler supports r-value
|
|
references and variadic templates. They perfectly forward the
|
|
<code>args</code> parameters to the constructors of
|
|
<code>T</code> for each array element.</p>
|
|
<p>Otherwise, you can use the overloads which take only the array size
|
|
(and the allocator in case of <code>allocate_shared</code>) and do not
|
|
take any constructor arguments. These overloads invoke the default
|
|
constructor of <code>T</code> for each array element.</p>
