Version 1 of the C++ Extensions for Library Fundamentals, ISO/IEC TS 19568:2015 defines the following new components for the C++ standard library:
Not merged into C++17
The following components of ISO/IEC TS 19568:2015 were not selected for inclusion in C++17
Modified versions of existing classes to support type-erased allocators
| Defined in header
<experimental/functional> | |

<experimental/future> | |
| a modified version of std::promise with support for type-erased allocators (class template) | |
| a modified version of std::packaged_task with support for type-erased allocators (class template) | |
Polymorphic allocators and memory resources
| adapts an allocator into a memory_resource (alias template) |
General utilities
| Defined in header

| placeholder type for type erasure, such as in allocators (class) | |
| Defined in header
<experimental/type_traits> | |
| deduce the implied function type of the callable object when called with the given argument types (class template) | |
Merged into C++17
The following components of ISO/IEC TS 19568:2015 were included into C++17
optional objects
| Defined in header
<experimental/optional> | |
| a class template representing optional objects (class template) | |
class any
| Defined in header
<experimental/any> | |
| a type-safe container for single values of any type (class) | |
string_view
| Defined in header
<experimental/string_view> | |
| a non-owning reference to a string (class template) | |
Type-erased and polymorphic allocators
Polymorphic allocators and memory resources
The entities in this section are declared in the std::experimental::pmr namespace.
| Defined in header
<experimental/memory_resource> | |
| an abstract interface for classes that encapsulate memory resources (class) | |
| a thread-safe memory_resource for managing allocations in pools of different block sizes (class) | |
| a thread-unsafe memory_resource for managing allocations in pools of different block sizes (class) | |
| a special-purpose memory_resource that releases the allocated memory only when the resource is destroyed (class) | |
| an allocator that supports run-time polymorphism based on the memory_resource it is constructed with (class template) | |
returns a static program-wide memory_resource that uses the global operator new and operator delete to allocate and deallocate memory (function) | |
returns a static memory_resource that performs no allocation (function) | |
gets the default memory_resource (function) | |
sets the default memory_resource (function) | |
Convenience aliases for containers using polymorphic allocators
Convenience aliases and alias templates for containers using polymorphic allocators are provided in the std::experimental::pmr namespace for the following class templates in the standard library:
| List of container templates for which convenience aliases are provided |
|---|
| Defined in header
<experimental/memory> | |
| Class | Description |

| selects n random elements from a sequence (function template) | |
| applies a Searcher to a sequence (function template) | |
| Defined in header
<experimental/functional> | |
| standard C++ library search algorithm implementation (class template) | |
| helper function to create a default_searcher (function template) | |
| Boyer-Moore search algorithm implementation (class template) | |
| helper function to create a boyer_moore_searcher (function template) | |
| Boyer-Moore-Horspool search algorithm implementation (class template) | |
| helper function to create a boyer_moore_horspool_searcher (function template) | |
General utilities
| Defined in header
