static VALUE
rb_class_alloc(VALUE klass)
{
    RBIMPL_ASSERT_TYPE(klass, T_CLASS);
    rb_alloc_func_t allocator = class_get_alloc_func(klass);
    return class_call_alloc_func(allocator, klass);
}

Allocates space for a new object of class’s class and does not call initialize on the new instance. The returned object must be an instance of class.

Example

klass = Class.new do
  def initialize(*args)
    @initialized = true
  end

  def initialized?
    @initialized || false
  end
end

klass.allocate.initialized? #=> false
