Re: [boost] New utility at boost/detail/allocator.hpp

Hi all,

As requested by some at the mailing list, I've migrated allocator.hpp from boost/multi_index/detail/ to boost/detail/ (with some obvious namespace changes.)

I'd like to request a name change from allocator.hpp to something else more appropriate (ie, allocator_helper.hpp). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this isn't an actual boost allocator implementation, but rather helper classes to get passed rebind issues in some STL implementations. The reason I mention this is that I was actually thinking of creating a boost::allocator class to work with RAII classes. That is, an allocator class that allows you to pass constructor parameters when constructing the object. Robert Geiman
