Re: [Boost-users] [Pool] Using purge_memory() with std::map

I'm using boost::fast_pool_allocator to replace the default allocator in a map. This works great, but I'm having a bit of trouble freeing the memory explicitly.

I posted about his a few months ago and received no reply. I worked around this issue by not using the singleton allocators, but that's hardly a solution. This seems to be an issue with the rebind. You're really looking for boost::singleton_pool< boost::fast_pool_allocator_tag, sizeof( map node ) >::purge_memory(); but I don't think there is a portable way to determine that map node type or size.
