Function std.experimental.allocator.typed.TypedAllocator.shrinkArray

Shrinks an array by delta elements using allocatorFor!(T[]).

bool shrinkArray(T) (
  ref T[] arr,
  size_t delta
);

If arr.length < delta, does nothing and returns false. Otherwise, destroys the last arr.length - delta elements in the array and then reallocates the array's buffer. If reallocation fails, fills the array with default-initialized data.

Parameters

NameDescription
T element type of the array being created
arr a reference to the array being shrunk
delta number of elements to remove (upon success the new length of arr is arr.length - delta)

Returns

true upon success, false if memory could not be reallocated. In the latter case arr[$ - delta .. $] is left with default-initialized elements.

Throws

The first two overloads throw only if the used allocator's primitives do. The overloads that involve copy initialization deallocate memory and propagate the exception if the copy operation throws.
