I am using 1.42.0-- The declaration of rbtree_best_fit in rbtree_best_fit.hpp at line 58 looks like:

The VoidPointer parameter name is what is used throughout the class implementation.
The forward declarationy ou pointed out in interprocess_fwd.hpp at line 166 looks like:
template
class rbtree_best_fit;
The VoidMutex there is weird. The same thing occurs in 1.35.0 and 1.36.0 -- the only other version I happen to have.
Ah, I see. This looks like a typo at interprocess_fwd.hpp:166 indeed - the name for the second template parameter should have been spelled VoidPointer instead of VoidMutex. Nevertheless, the names of template parameters are irrelevant unless they are referred to in that same template declaration/definition. The forward declaration of rbtree_best_fit could have just been written as template < class, class = offset_ptr<void>, std::size_t = 0 > class rbtree_best_fit; as far as the compiler is concerned. So the (non-intentional) mismatch of parameter names observed here does not prevent the compiler to use the default template arguments correctly, and causes absolutely no confusion for the compiler - only for us human beings :) Gevorg
