In addition to Michel's thorough summary here is a description of
deallocate:
void deallocate(pointer p, size_type n);
Requires: p shall be a pointer value obtained from an allocator which
this Allocator is capable of deallocating. n shall equal the value
passed as the first argument to the invocation of allocate which returned
p (unless a specific instance of Allocator is known to relax that
requirement).
Effects: Deallocates the storage referenced by p .
All n T objects in the area pointed by p must be destroyed prior to this
call.
