rG2cb4a96a99e8: [libc++] NFCI: Refactor allocator_traits
Summary

The implementation had a lot of boilerplate and was more complicated than
necessary. This NFC refactoring introduces a few macros to reduce code
duplication, and uses a consistent style and formatting for the whole file.

Thanks for the cleanup, this is much improved!

If this is the only use of _LIBCPP_ALLOCATOR_TRAITS_HAS_XXX_TEMPLATE, is it better to just implement it here (and get rid of the macro)?

173

Let's put these at the bottom of the file. Otherwise, if someone tries to use them later on it might create a hard-to-fix error.

245

Could this be __allocator_traits_rebind_t?

273

Why the has_allocate_hint? Is that just for the deprecation warnings? Is it worth just taking the deprecation warnings so we could have just one implementation? For compile-time if nothing else. Those SFINAE checks are slow.

296

I don't really understand why we have two implementations here. This isn't a constexpr context, so they both do the same thing.

Address Zoe's comments. Note that this is meant to be a NFC commit, so I don't
think we should incorporate additional changes beyond the refactorign to those
changes.

libcxx/include/__memory/allocator_traits.h
273

Do you mean that you'd prefer doing the check for whether a.allocate(n, hint) is supported inline in the template declaration?

If you're asking why we call allocate with a hint at all, it's because we must. If a user-defined allocator does something special when called with a hint, we need to maintain that.

296

construct_at isn't provided before C++20.

Oops, I didn't see that we're only passing the hint argument in one of these. Never mind then :)

296

I was thinking the opposite: always construct with placement new. Is there a way (that isn't UB) for a user to know the difference?

(This is also a super small thing, no need to address it, I know this is a bit out-of-scope.)

Thanks for the review Zoe!

The issue is that placement-new doesn't work inside constexpr, but construct_at does. This function is marked as constexpr in C++20 and above (_LIBCPP_CONSTEXPR_AFTER_CXX17).
