Hi:

I try fast_pool_allocator and it does not release memory. See the following program Any ideas?

<snip code> Well, this issue has come up before. I can tell you the reason, but I can't remember the solution. The reason is that the singleton instance you are calling release_memory() on is not the singleton the list is using to allocate nodes. Remember that std::list<int> will rebind the allocator to allocate SomeNodeStruct<int> instead of plain ints. As far as I know, there is not a portable way to get the type of "SomeNodeStruct".
