# std::scoped_allocator_adaptor

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | memory

Defined in header `<scoped_allocator>` |  |
template< class OuterAlloc, class... InnerAlloc > class scoped_allocator_adaptor : public OuterAlloc; |  | (since C++11)

The `std::scoped_allocator_adaptor` class template is an allocator which can be used with multilevel containers (vector of sets of lists of tuples of maps, etc). It is instantiated with one outer allocator type `OuterAlloc` and zero or more inner allocator types `InnerAlloc...`. A container constructed directly with a `scoped_allocator_adaptor` uses `OuterAlloc` to allocate its elements, but if an element is itself a container, it uses the first inner allocator. The elements of that container, if they are themselves containers, use the second inner allocator, etc. If there are more levels to the container than there are inner allocators, the last inner allocator is reused for all further nested containers.

For the purpose of `scoped_allocator_adaptor`, if the next inner allocator is `A`, any class `T` for which std::uses_allocator<T,A>::value == true participates in the recursion as if it was a container. Additionally, std::pair is treated as such a container by specific overloads of `scoped_allocator_adaptor::construct`.

Typical implementation holds an instance of a `std::scoped_allocator_adaptor<InnerAllocs...>` as a member object.
