[Boost-users] Memory manager/allocator

Hi, I'm sorry if the question goes in OT. I'm searching for a simple cross platform memory manager/allocator library/class to simply allocate/read/write blocks of memory. I googled around and I found some projects: http://code.google.com/p/stdext/ http://memory-mgr.sourceforge.net/ there is also boost.interprocess but I don't need its complexity. I'd like to know if there is a well-known and used one. Thanks in advance. Daniele.
