Optionally specify `basicAllocator` to use to obtain memory. If `basicAllocator` is 0, the currently installed global allocator is used. The behavior is undefined unless `0 == MetricsManager::instance()` prior to calling this method, or if this method is called from one thread while another thread is attempting to access the default metrics manager instance (i.e., this method is _not_ thread‐safe). == Synopsis Declared in `<balm_defaultmetricsmanager.h>` [source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"] ---- static xref:BloombergLP/balm/MetricsManager.adoc[MetricsManager]* create( std::ostream& stream, xref:BloombergLP/bslma/Allocator.adoc[bslma::Allocator]* basicAllocator = 0); ---- [.small]#Created with https://www.mrdocs.com[MrDocs]#
