Return a newly allocated block of memory of the specified numBytes.

Synopsis

Declared in <bdlma_concurrentallocatoradapter.h>

virtual
void*
allocate(bsls::Types::size_type numBytes) override;

Description

Return a newly‐allocated block of memory of (at least) the specified numBytes. If numBytes is 0, a null pointer is returned with no other effect. If this allocator cannot return the requested number of bytes, then it will throw a bsl::bad_alloc exception in an exception‐enabled build, or else will abort the program in a non‐exception build. Note that the alignment of the address returned conforms to the platform requirement for any object of the numBytes.

Return Value

address of the newly allocated block, or a null pointer if numBytes is 0

Parameters

Name

Description

numBytes

number of bytes to allocate
