From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | memory‎ | allocator

size_type max_size() const throw(); |  | (until C++11)
size_type max_size() const noexcept; |  | (since C++11) (deprecated in C++17) (removed in C++20)

Returns the maximum theoretically possible value of `n`, for which the call `allocate(n, 0)` could succeed.

In most implementations, this returns std::numeric_limits <size_type>::max() / sizeof(value_type).

### Parameters

(none)

### Return value

The maximum supported allocation size

### See also

max_size [static] | returns the maximum object size supported by the allocator (public static member function of `std::allocator_traits<Alloc>`)
