It's very easy to make an STL allocator for gc: the allocator's pointer type will be gc_ptr<T>.
The following will be possible:
gc_ptr<std::vector<gc_ptr<Foo> > foos = gc_new std::vector<gc_ptr<Foo> , gc_allocator<T> >;
I think you'd have to change the implementation of the std containers to make it work because many would use pointers and these would have to be derived from the 'struct _ptr' defined in cppgc.hpp in order for them to be registered in the pointer data base as described in my other post: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20070920.142319.8368416a.en.html Do you have any other idea about how it can be done?
