There's a memory-pool library in boost: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/pool/doc/index.html

Thanks Igor, I didn't seen it! :-P I profit by you to ask a question.. Here (http://xushiwei.com/gc-allocator#toc7) there are timing comparison between some allocators.. You know why there is a so big difference between Linux and Win32 implementations for boost::pool? (if this timing are says the truth) Thanks, Daniele.

Where do you see a big difference? From the 2 pictures that I can see, the measurement for "BoostPool" is ~7ms, and for "BoostObjectPool" is ~13 -- on both pictures. Do I miss something?

Never mind, it's my fault! I'm very sorry! I didn't seen that the two Y scale are different!! I've take a look to boost::pool, tell me if I understand well. I have to allocate contiguous memory to store a recorded audio samples. So, is legal to do something like this: //Allocate chunks of 65535 bytes boost::pool<> p(65535); //Allocate 100*65535 bytes of contiguous chunks void * pMem = p.ordered_malloc(100) Now, assumes that I have a function like: void MyMemoryObj::Write(long pData, long byte_to_write) { // In windows I write the data pointed to pData into the buffer with: RtlMoveMemory pMem, pData, byte_to_write } Is there a way to copy memory in boost? Thanks, Daniele.

Unfortunately, I never used it myself, so I'm afraid I can't enlighten you more than the library reference.

Ok, no worries. I'll simply try!

void MyMemoryObj::Write(long pData, long byte_to_write) { // In windows I write the data pointed to pData into the buffer with: RtlMoveMemory pMem, pData, byte_to_write }

Why boost? It's just std::copy() Or if you insist on working with plain C pointers, instead of c++ iterators, then use plain C memcpy()

Ehehe...My 'STL use' is a little bit rusty and sometimes I forgot that I have a simply solution in the hand! Thanks Igor! Daniele.

You might also be interested in the high-performance tcmalloc, which I think is open sourced by Google.

Thanks Chris, I'll take a look! Daniele.
