Description

This component provides a protocol (pure abstract interface) class, bslma::ManagedAllocator, which extends the base-level protocol class, bslma::Allocator, providing the ability to release all memory currently allocated through the protocol back to the memory supplier of the derived concrete allocator object.

( bslma::ManagedAllocator )
 `-----------------------'
             |       release
             V
     ,----------------.
    ( bslma::Allocator )
     `----------------'
                     allocate
                     deallocate

Usage

The bslma::ManagedAllocator protocol class serves as a useful internal interface for documentation purpose and could be used as a parameter to low-level helper functions for some implementations. We have yet to find a suitable real-world example and when one becomes available, it will be added.
