## Description

### `cached_node_allocator` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     cached_node_allocator(segment_manager * segment_mngr);

   Constructor from a segment manager. If not present, constructs a node pool. Increments the reference count of the associated node pool. Can throw `boost::interprocess::bad_alloc`

2.     cached_node_allocator(const cached_node_allocator & other);

   Copy constructor from other `cached_node_allocator`. Increments the reference count of the associated node pool. Never throws

3.     template<typename T2>
         cached_node_allocator(const cached_node_allocator< T2, SegmentManager, NodesPerBlock > & other);

   Copy constructor from related `cached_node_allocator`. If not present, constructs a node pool. Increments the reference count of the associated node pool. Can throw `boost::interprocess::bad_alloc`

4.     template<typename T2, typename SegmentManager2, std::size_t N2>
         cached_node_allocator &
         operator=(const cached_node_allocator< T2, SegmentManager2, N2 > &);

   Not assignable from related `cached_node_allocator`

5.     cached_node_allocator & operator=(const cached_node_allocator &);

   Not assignable from other `cached_node_allocator`

6.     ~cached_node_allocator();

   Destructor, removes node_pool_t from memory if its reference count reaches to zero. Never throws

### `cached_node_allocator` public member functions

1.     node_pool_t * get_node_pool() const;

   Returns a pointer to the node pool. Never throws

2.     segment_manager * get_segment_manager() const;

   Returns the segment manager. Never throws

3.     size_type max_size() const;

   Returns the number of elements that could be allocated. Never throws

4.     pointer allocate(size_type count, cvoid_pointer hint = 0);

   Allocate memory for an array of count elements. Throws `boost::interprocess::bad_alloc` if there is no enough memory

5.     void deallocate(const pointer & ptr, size_type count);

   Deallocate allocated memory. Never throws

6.     void deallocate_free_blocks();

   Deallocates all free blocks of the pool

7.     pointer address(reference value) const;

   Returns address of mutable object. Never throws

8.     const_pointer address(const_reference value) const;

   Returns address of non mutable object. Never throws

9.     void construct(const pointer & ptr, const_reference v);

   Default construct an object. Throws if T's default constructor throws

10.     void destroy(const pointer & ptr);

    Destroys object. Throws if object's destructor throws

11.     size_type size(const pointer & p) const;

    Returns maximum the number of objects the previously allocated memory pointed by p can hold. This size only works for memory allocated with allocate, allocation_command and allocate_many.

12.     pointer allocation_command(boost::interprocess::allocation_type command,
                                   size_type limit_size,
                                   size_type & prefer_in_recvd_out_size,
                                   pointer & reuse);

13.     void allocate_many(size_type elem_size, size_type num_elements,
                           multiallocation_chain & chain);

    Allocates many elements of size elem_size in a contiguous block of memory. The minimum number to be allocated is min_elements, the preferred and maximum number is preferred_elements. The number of actually allocated elements is will be assigned to received_size. The elements must be deallocated with deallocate(...)

14.     void allocate_many(const size_type * elem_sizes, size_type n_elements,
                           multiallocation_chain & chain);

    Allocates n_elements elements, each one of size elem_sizes[i]in a contiguous block of memory. The elements must be deallocated

15.     void deallocate_many(multiallocation_chain & chain);

    Allocates many elements of size elem_size in a contiguous block of memory. The minimum number to be allocated is min_elements, the preferred and maximum number is preferred_elements. The number of actually allocated elements is will be assigned to received_size. The elements must be deallocated with deallocate(...)

16.     pointer allocate_one();

    Allocates just one object. Memory allocated with this function must be deallocated only with deallocate_one(). Throws `boost::interprocess::bad_alloc` if there is no enough memory

17.     multiallocation_chain allocate_individual(size_type num_elements);

    Allocates many elements of size == 1 in a contiguous block of memory. The minimum number to be allocated is min_elements, the preferred and maximum number is preferred_elements. The number of actually allocated elements is will be assigned to received_size. Memory allocated with this function must be deallocated only with deallocate_one().

18.     void deallocate_one(const pointer & p);

    Deallocates memory previously allocated with allocate_one(). You should never use deallocate_one to deallocate memory allocated with other functions different from allocate_one(). Never throws

19.     void deallocate_individual(multiallocation_chain it);

    Allocates many elements of size == 1 in a contiguous block of memory. The minimum number to be allocated is min_elements, the preferred and maximum number is preferred_elements. The number of actually allocated elements is will be assigned to received_size. Memory allocated with this function must be deallocated only with deallocate_one().

20.     void set_max_cached_nodes(size_type newmax);

    Sets the new max cached nodes value. This can provoke deallocations if "newmax" is less than current cached nodes. Never throws

21.     size_type get_max_cached_nodes() const;

    Returns the max cached nodes parameter. Never throws

### `cached_node_allocator` friend functions

1.     friend void swap(self_t & alloc1, self_t & alloc2);

   Swaps allocators. Does not throw. If each allocator is placed in a different memory segment, the result is undefined.
