That is,<tt>get_temporary_buffer(len, (T*) 0)</tt> requests a buffer that isaligned for objects of type <tt>T</tt> and that is large enough to hold<tt>len</tt> objects of type <tt>T</tt>. <A href="#1">[1]</A> <P>The return value of <tt>get_temporary_buffer</tt> is a <A href="pair.html">pair</A> <tt>P</tt> whosefirst component is a pointer to the temporary buffer and whose secondargument indicates how large the buffer is: the buffer pointed to by<tt>P.first</tt> is large enough to hold <tt>P.second</tt> objects of type <tt>T</tt>.<tt>P.second</tt> is greater than or equal to <tt>0</tt> <A href="#2">[2]</A>, and less than or equalto <tt>len</tt> <A href="#1">[1]</A>. Note that <tt>P.first</tt> is a pointer to uninitializedmemory, rather than to actual objects of type <tt>T</tt>; this memory can beinitialized using <tt><A href="uninitialized_copy.html">uninitialized_copy</A></tt>, <tt><A href="uninitialized_fill.html">uninitialized_fill</A></tt>,or <tt><A href="uninitialized_fill_n.html">uninitialized_fill_n</A></tt>.<P>As the name suggests, <tt>get_temporary_buffer</tt> should only be used toobtain temporary memory. If a function allocates memory using<tt>get_temporary_buffer</tt>, then it must deallocate that memory, using<tt><A href="return_temporary_buffer.html">return_temporary_buffer</A></tt> <A href="#3">[3]</A>, before it returns.<P><b>Note:</b> <tt>get_temporary_buffer</tt> and <tt><A href="return_temporary_buffer.html">return_temporary_buffer</A></tt> areonly provided for backward compatibility. If you are writing newcode, you should instead use the <tt><A href="temporary_buffer.html">temporary_buffer</A></tt> class.<h3>Definition</h3>Defined in the standard header <A href="memory">memory</A>, and in the nonstandardbackward-compatibility header <A href="algo.h">algo.h</A>.<h3>Requirements on types</h3><h3>Preconditions</h3><UL><LI><tt>len</tt> is greater than <tt>0</tt>.</UL><h3>Complexity</h3><h3>Example</h3><pre>int main(){ pair<int*, ptrdiff_t> P = get_temporary_buffer(10000, (int*) 0); int* buf = P.first; ptrdiff_t N = P.second; <A href="uninitialized_fill_n.html">uninitialized_fill_n</A>(buf, N, 42); int* result = <A href="find_if.html">find_if</A>(buf, buf + N, <A href="binder2nd.html">bind2nd</A>(<A href="not_equal_to.html">not_equal_to</A><int>(), 42)); assert(result == buf + N); <A href="return_temporary_buffer.html">return_temporary_buffer</A>(buf);} </pre><h3>Notes</h3><P><A name="1">[1]</A>The argument <tt>len</tt> is a request, rather than a requirement. Theintention is that <tt>get_temporary_buffer</tt> will return as large a bufferas can be allocated without hurting performance. Note thatdetermining this maximum size is quite difficult: it depends on cache size, physical versus virtual memory, heap fragmentation, and so on. A good implementation of<tt>get_temporary_buffer</tt> must be nonportable.<P><A name="2">[2]</A>If <tt>P.second</tt> is 0, this means that <tt>get_temporary_buffer</tt>was unable to allocate a temporary buffer at all. In that case,<tt>P.first</tt> is a null pointer.<P><A name="3">[3]</A>It is unspecified whether <tt>get_temporary_buffer</tt> is implementedusing <tt>malloc</tt>, or <tt>::operator new</tt>, or some other method. The onlyportable way to return memory that was allocated using <tt>get_temporary_buffer</tt>is to use <tt><A href="return_temporary_buffer.html">return_temporary_buffer</A></tt>.<h3>See also</h3><tt><A href="temporary_buffer.html">temporary_buffer</A></tt>, <tt><A href="return_temporary_buffer.html">return_temporary_buffer</A></tt>, <A href="Allocators.html">Allocators</A><!--start footer--> <HR SIZE="6"><A href="http://www.sgi.com/"><IMG SRC="surf.gif" HEIGHT="54" WIDTH="54" ALT="[Silicon Surf]"></A><A HREF="index.html"><IMG SRC="stl_home.gif" HEIGHT="54" WIDTH="54" ALT="[STL Home]"></A><BR><FONT SIZE="-2"><A href="http://www.sgi.com/Misc/sgi_info.html" TARGET="_top">Copyright © 1999 Silicon Graphics, Inc.</A> All Rights Reserved.</FONT><FONT SIZE="-3"><a href="http://www.sgi.com/Misc/external.list.html" TARGET="_top">TrademarkInformation</A></FONT><P></BODY></HTML> ⌨️ 快捷键说明
