Synopsis

#include <memory>

template <class T>

pair<T*, ptrdiff_t> get_temporary_buffer (ptrdiff_t, T*);

Description

The get_temporary_buffer templated function reserves from system memory the largest

possible buffer that is less than or equal to the size requested (n*sizeof(T)), and returns a

pair<T*, ptrdiff_t> containing the address and size of that buffer. The units used to describe the

capacity are in sizeof(T).
