allocator<char> get_allocator( ) const;

Get allocator

Returns the allocator object used to constuct the object.

Allocators define memory allocation models. For string objects this is an object of the standard allocator type for char elements: allocator<char>, which is value independent, but basic_string objects may specify different allocator types as a template parameter of the class template, and different values for them on object construction.

Parameters

Return Value

Basic template member declaration

typedef Allocator allocator_type;
allocator_type get_allocator() const;
