--- Comment #7 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Richard S., is there any reason to use the built-ins for the constant evaluation case? I assume not. Currently std::allocator does: [[nodiscard,__gnu__::__always_inline__]] constexpr _Tp* allocate(size_t __n) { #ifdef __cpp_lib_is_constant_evaluated if (std::is_constant_evaluated()) return static_cast<_Tp*>(::operator new(__n * sizeof(_Tp))); #endif return __allocator_base<_Tp>::allocate(__n, 0); } and my assumption is that there is no reason to change this code, because the benefits of __builtin_operator_new are only for run-time uses. The calls to ::operator new in __allocator_base<_Tp>::allocate can use the built-in though e.g. --- a/libstdc++-v3/include/ext/new_allocator.h +++ b/libstdc++-v3/include/ext/new_allocator.h @@ -97,6 +97,14 @@ _GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE_VERSION { return std::__addressof(__x); } #endif +#if __has_builtin(__builtin_operator_new) >= 201802L +# define _GLIBCXX_OPERATOR_NEW __builtin_operator_new +# define _GLIBCXX_OPERATOR_DELETE __builtin_operator_delete +#else +# define _GLIBCXX_OPERATOR_NEW ::operator new +# define _GLIBCXX_OPERATOR_DELETE ::operator delete +#endif + // NB: __n is permitted to be 0.
