Writing an allocator

Why won't the compiler let me write this:

template <class T>
class Allocator
{
public:
Allocator(){}
T* allocate(){stat ic long long i=0; T* j=new(pool[i]) T; i++; return
&*j;}
private:
static T pool[1000000];
}

It keeps saying: "expected ; at end of input". Can you help me fix
this? Thanks.

The previous two problems. Plus the missing semicolon at the end of the
structure.

But why doesn't this work:

template <class T, long long X>
class Allocator
{
public:
Allocator(){}
T* allocate(){stat ic long long i=0; T* j=new(&pool[i]) T; i++; return
&*j;}
private:
static T pool[X];
};
template<class T,long long X> T Allocator<T>::p ool[X];
int main()
{
Allocator<long long,100> alloc;
long long* i=alloc.allocat e();
system("PAUSE") ;
return 0;
}

Any suggestions? Thanks. It keeps saying: "expected ; at end of input". Can you help me fix

To use placement new, use #include <new>

private:
static T pool[X];
};
template<class T,long long X> T Allocator<T>::p ool[X];
should be Allocator<T,X> and not just Allocator<T>
int main()
{
Allocator<long long,100> alloc;
long long* i=alloc.allocat e();
system("PAUSE") ;
return 0;
}


Hope this helps.

Hi, everyone, A coworker and I have been pondering a memory allocation problem that we're having with a very large process. Our joint research has led us to the conclusion that we may have to replace the STL allocator. But, before I even attempt something like this, I wanted to ask some questions to this group: 1) We read online that STL caches allocated memory so that containers and their contents that are freed at one point in...

Hi all, I saw this code in the book "Accelerated C++" (chapt 11, iirc): template <class T> class Vec { ... std::allocator<T> alloc; // object to handle memory allocation // ??would static member work here??: // static std::allocator<T> alloc;

If you specify an allocator in an STL container is it a requirement that the allocator allocates object of the right type, or can you assume that the container will rebind the allocator to the correct type? For example I tried the following code which uses a 'wrong' allocator and was slightly surrised to find it compiles on the three compilers I tried it on #include <vector> #include <memory>

Hi, can anybody tell me where I can get the boiler plate code for std::allocator. I need to have my version of new and delete called and want to get reference code. My compilers headers are all over the place with #ifdefs and what not, I'd like a clean copy. thanks much

Hi, I've written allocator for STL vectors, which take all memory from my heap. But I don't have any idea to implement the same for Maps. As maps take Key and Values. So should I use the same allocator for both data types, or the allocator for map should ahve different signature??? -Thanks -Mavrik

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
