Synopsis

Defined in header <memory>
std::pointer_safety get_pointer_safety() noexcept; (since C++11)
(removed in C++23)

Obtains the implementation-defined pointer safety model, which is a value of type
std::pointer_safety.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

The pointer safety used by this implementation.

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <memory>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Pointer safety: ";
switch (std::get_pointer_safety()) {
case std::pointer_safety::strict: std::cout << "strict\n"; break;
case std::pointer_safety::preferred: std::cout << "preferred\n"; break;
case std::pointer_safety::relaxed: std::cout << "relaxed\n"; break;
}
}

Possible output:

Pointer safety: relaxed
