This is a basic implementation of P2719: "Type-aware allocation and deallocation functions" described at http://wg21.link/P2719 The proposal includes some more details but the basic change in functionality is the addition of support for an additional implicit parameter in operators `new` and `delete` to act as a type tag. Tag is of type `std::type_identity<T>` where T is the concrete type being allocated. So for example, a custom type specific allocator for `int` say can be provided by the declaration of void *operator new(std::type_identity<int>, size_t, std::align_val_t); void operator delete(std::type_identity<int>, void*, size_t, std::align_val_t); However this becomes more powerful by specifying templated declarations, for example template <typename T> void *operator new(std::type_identity<T>, size_t, std::align_val_t); template <typename T> void operator delete(std::type_identity<T>, void*, size_t, std::align_val_t);); Where the operators being resolved will be the concrete type being operated over (NB. A completely unconstrained global definition as above is not recommended as it triggers many problems similar to a general override of the global operators). These type aware operators can be declared as either free functions or in class, and can be specified with or without the other implicit parameters, with overload resolution performed according to the existing standard parameter prioritisation, only with type parameterised operators having higher precedence than non-type aware operators. The only exception is destroying_delete which for reasons discussed in the paper we do not support type-aware variants by default.
C language Family Front-end
Welcome to Clang.
This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++ and Objective-C) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.
Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.
If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant websites. Here are some pointers:
