Review of Boost.Contianer by Zoltán Tóth 2. Most STL implementations have been supporting stateful allocators for years now. So it is not big news. However I am not satisfied with the way they might do it. For example Visual Studio's STL implementation require the allocator type to have a template copy constructor. Such allocator types are difficult to be implemented in efficient, threads-friendly way.
This is a Standard requirement, not specific to VC. Stephan T. Lavavej Visual C++ Libraries Developer
