This isn't the first time, however, that somebody has proposed allocators that require non-static members ( http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1850.pdf) - see buffer_allocator. This may be a special class of allocators that requires special attention. Andrew Sutton andrew.n.sutton@gmail.com
