I am looking for a technique to detect if it is possible or not to push/insert/etc. further elements to a std::deque. It should do dynamic memory allocation for me, but what happens when my memory is full? By using malloc() I would receive a Nullpointer but how to detect a out of memory situation when using a std::deque?
Allocations by the standard containers are handled by their allocator, which defaults to std::allocator
.
The std::allocator
allocate
function is using operator new
for the allocation.
And operator new
throws the std::bad_alloc
exception if it fails.
Use the documentation .
For example, for std::deque::push_back
we read:
If an exception is thrown (which can be due to Allocator::allocate() or element copy/move constructor/assignment), this function has no effect (strong exception guarantee).
Assuming your type doesn't throw on copy/move operations, the only possible place to throw is allocator.
std::allocator::allocate()
will throw std::bad_alloc
on failure:
Throws std::bad_alloc if allocation fails.
Handling out-of-memory situations within standard containers is delegated to the underlying allocator (the second, often not specified template parameter of std::deque
). If you go with the default std::allocator
, which throws upon failure in std::allocator::allocate
, you can wrap the insertion into a try-catch block:
try {
myDeque.push_back(42);
} catch (const std::bad_alloc& e) {
// Do something...
}
