# C++ concepts: Erasable

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | concept

Specifies that an object of the type can be destroyed by a given `Allocator`.

### [edit] Requirements

The type `T` is `Erasable` from the `Container` `X` whose `value_type` is identical to `T` if, given

`A` | an allocator type
`m` | an lvalue of type `A`
`p` | the pointer of type `T*` prepared by the container

where `X::allocator_type` is identical to std::allocator_traits<A>::rebind_alloc<T>,

the following expression is well-formed:

    std::allocator_traits<A>::destroy(m, p);

If `X` is not allocator-aware, the term is defined as if `A` were std::allocator<T>, except that no allocator object needs to be created, and user-defined specializations of std::allocator are not instantiated.

### [edit] Notes

All standard library containers require that their element type satisfies Erasable.

With the default allocator, this requirement is equivalent to the validity of p->~T(), which accepts class types with accessible destructors and all scalar types, but rejects array types, function types, reference types, and void.
