+## Standard-library allocator
+
+For Linux DAAL core objects, this is equivalent to the allocator-selection
+part of Make `STDALLOC=yes`:
+
+```sh
+bazel build //:release --stdalloc=true
+```
+
+The option is disabled by default. When enabled, Bazel defines
+`USE_STD_ALLOC` only while compiling DAAL core objects, switching the MKL
+allocation wrappers to `std::aligned_alloc` and `std::free`. It intentionally
+does not define the macro for the separately built `threading_tbb` objects;
+this matches the current Make target-specific flag scope, so the threading
+library continues to use TBB scalable allocation.
+
+The setting rejects every non-Linux target because this allocator path is
+currently supported only on Linux. It controls allocator selection only. Make
+builds with `COMPILER=icx STDALLOC=yes` additionally pass
+`-static-libstdc++`; `--stdalloc=true` does not change Bazel link options.
