Defined in header <memory_resource>
class monotonic_buffer_resource :publicstd::pmr::memory_resource;
(since C++17)

The class std::pmr::monotonic_buffer_resource is a special-purpose memory resource class that releases the allocated memory only when the resource is destroyed. It is intended for very fast memory allocations in situations where memory is used to build up a few objects and then is released all at once.

monotonic_buffer_resource can be constructed with an initial buffer. If there is no initial buffer, or if the buffer is exhausted, additional buffers are obtained from an upstream memory resource supplied at construction. The size of buffers obtained follows a geometric progression.

monotonic_buffer_resource is not thread-safe.

[edit]Example

The program measures the time of creating huge double-linked lists using the following allocators:

  • default standard allocator,
  • default pmr allocator,
  • pmr allocator with monotonic resource but without explicit memory buffer,
  • pmr allocator with monotonic resource and external memory buffer (on stack).
#include <array>#include <chrono>#include <cstddef>#include <iomanip>#include <iostream>#include <list>#include <memory_resource>   template<typename Func>auto benchmark(Func test_func, int iterations){constauto start =std::chrono::system_clock::now();while(iterations-->0) test_func();constauto stop =std::chrono::system_clock::now();constauto secs =std::chrono::duration<double>(stop - start);return secs.count();}   int main(){constexprint iterations{100};constexprint total_nodes{2'00'000};   auto default_std_alloc =[total_nodes]{std::list<int> list;for(int i{}; i != total_nodes;++i) list.push_back(i);};   auto default_pmr_alloc =[total_nodes]{std::pmr::list<int> list;for(int i{}; i != total_nodes;++i) list.push_back(i);};   auto pmr_alloc_no_buf =[total_nodes]{ std::pmr::monotonic_buffer_resource mbr;std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator<int> pa{&mbr};std::pmr::list<int> list{pa};for(int i{}; i != total_nodes;++i) list.push_back(i);};   auto pmr_alloc_and_buf =[total_nodes]{std::array<std::byte, total_nodes *32> buffer;// enough to fit in all nodes std::pmr::monotonic_buffer_resource mbr{buffer.data(), buffer.size()};std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator<int> pa{&mbr};std::pmr::list<int> list{pa};for(int i{}; i != total_nodes;++i) list.push_back(i);};   constdouble t1 = benchmark(default_std_alloc, iterations);constdouble t2 = benchmark(default_pmr_alloc, iterations);constdouble t3 = benchmark(pmr_alloc_no_buf , iterations);constdouble t4 = benchmark(pmr_alloc_and_buf, iterations);   std::cout<<std::fixed<<std::setprecision(3)<<"t1 (default std alloc): "<< t1 <<" sec; t1/t1: "<< t1/t1 <<'\n'<<"t2 (default pmr alloc): "<< t2 <<" sec; t1/t2: "<< t1/t2 <<'\n'<<"t3 (pmr alloc no buf): "<< t3 <<" sec; t1/t3: "<< t1/t3 <<'\n'<<"t4 (pmr alloc and buf): "<< t4 <<" sec; t1/t4: "<< t1/t4 <<'\n';}

Possible output:
