allocator::destroy

Calls an objects destructor without deallocating the memory where the object was stored.

void destroy(
   pointer _Ptr
);

Parameters

• _Ptr
  A pointer designating the address of the object to be destroyed.

Remarks

The member function destroys the object designated by _Ptr, by calling the destructor _Ptr ->Type::~Type.

Example

// allocator_destroy.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <memory>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main( ) 
{
   vector <int> v1;
   vector <int>::iterator v1Iter;
   vector <int>:: allocator_type v1Alloc;

   int i;
   for ( i = 1 ; i <= 7 ; i++ )
   {
      v1.push_back( 2 * i );
   }

   cout << "The original vector v1 is:\n ( " ;
   for ( v1Iter = v1.begin( ) ; v1Iter != v1.end( ) ; v1Iter++ )
      cout << *v1Iter << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

   allocator<int>::pointer v1PtrA;
   int kA = 12, kB = -99;
   v1PtrA = v1Alloc.address( *find(v1.begin( ), v1.end( ), kA) );
   v1Alloc.destroy ( v1PtrA );
   v1Alloc.construct ( v1PtrA , kB );

   cout << "The modified vector v1 is:\n ( " ;
   for ( v1Iter = v1.begin( ) ; v1Iter != v1.end( ) ; v1Iter++ )
      cout << *v1Iter << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;
}

The original vector v1 is:
 ( 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 ).
The modified vector v1 is:
 ( 2 4 6 8 10 -99 14 ).
