Defined in header `<scoped_allocator>` |  |
| (1) |
pointer allocate( size_type n ); |  | (since C++11) (until C++20)
[[nodiscard]] pointer allocate( size_type n ); |  | (since C++20)
| (2) |
pointer allocate( size_type n, const_void_pointer hint ); |  | (since C++11) (until C++20)
[[nodiscard]] pointer allocate( size_type n, const_void_pointer hint ); |  | (since C++20)

Uses the outer allocator to allocate uninitialized storage.

1) Calls std::allocator_traits <OuterAlloc>::allocate(outer_allocator(), n)
2) Additionally provides memory locality hint, by calling std::allocator_traits <OuterAlloc>::allocate(outer_allocator(), n, hint)

### Parameters

n | - | the number of objects to allocate storage for
hint | - | pointer to a nearby memory location

### Return value

The pointer to the allocated storage

### See also

allocate | allocates uninitialized storage (public member function of `std::allocator<T>`)
allocate [static] | allocates uninitialized storage using the allocator (public static member function of `std::allocator_traits<Alloc>`)
