return_temporary_buffer
Deallocates the temporary memory that was allocated using the get_temporary_buffer template function.
template<class Type>
void return_temporary_buffer(
Type* _Pbuf
);
Parameters
- _Pbuf
A pointer to the memory to be deallocated.
Remarks
This function should only be used for memory that is temporary.
Example
// memory_ret_temp_buf.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <memory>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
// Create an array of ints
int intArray [ ] = { 10, 20, 30, 40, 100, 200, 300 };
int count = sizeof ( intArray ) / sizeof ( int );
cout << "The number of integers in the array is: "
<< count << "." << endl;
pair<int *, ptrdiff_t> resultPair;
resultPair = get_temporary_buffer<int>( count );
cout << "The number of elements that the allocated memory\n"
<< " could store is given by: resultPair.second = "
<< resultPair.second << "." << endl;
int* tempBuffer = resultPair.first;
// Deallocates memory allocated with get_temporary_buffer
return_temporary_buffer ( tempBuffer );
}
The number of integers in the array is: 7. The number of elements that the allocated memory could store is given by: resultPair.second = 7.
