Hi All,
I am trying to use the Boost Pool library, more specifically I am trying to use the singleton pool interface.
Everything seems to work fine, till the moment I use it to create an object from a class containing a (STL) map, which results in a segmentation fault.
Does anyone know why this happens, or how to work around it?
What I find also strange is that the constructor and destructor of the class doesn't seem to be called when using the pool. Is this normal behavior?
Yes.

myPool::malloc does not initialize the MyClass.
You need to do so explicitly.

#include <vector>
#include <map>
#include 

using namespace std;

class MyClass {
public:
    int x;
    vector<int> y;
    map z;
};

int main() {
   typedef boost::singleton_pool myPool;

    MyClass * const t = (MyClass *) myPool::malloc();
    new(t) MyClass;
    t->x = 1;
    t->y.push_back(2);
    t->z.insert(make_pair(3,3));//causes segmentation fault

    t->~MyClass();

    myPool::purge_memory();
}
