2 Things missing (or don't work well) from Pool.
When using the pool_allocator (or fast_pool_allocator) in an application that has several DLLs on the Windows platform, the pool allocator "singleton" is created in each DLL, so when an object is allocated in one DLL and freed in another, you get a nasty crash. I worked around this by using a factory function that resides in the first loaded DLL.
3 New things that you would like (this is not a promise!).
I definitely support a "lock-free & thread-safe" version, and, if both are not achievable at the same time, some variants towards one and the other. Cheers, Filip
