Steven> Allowing both local storage and a single global storage in the same allocator type seems like a bad idea to me. If you don't do any locking, then the global storage will not play well with threads.
That is a good point. On considering this, I am considering introducing shared_allocator<T>.
Thanks for the idea of introducing shared_allocator<T>.
what do you think about having a monotonic allocator using a thread specific storage so this allocator will not need to use a mutex to protect the allocation? Best, Vicente
