https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/100 <pre class="wiki">I think that the concept "allocator" can be used not only for the smart_ptr templates (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=449787&amp;group_id=7586&amp;atid=357586). It should be used on every place where a template parameter can accept a pair of functions/methods that perform a resource allocation and release. Other examples for this: - create / destroy - fopen / fclose - login / logout - lock / unlock (http://www.boost.org/libs/thread/doc/mutex_concept.html) It would be nice to have some more function objects that are provided by the class library. </pre> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/100 Trac 1.4.3 elfring Sun, 14 Nov 2004 17:11:51 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/100#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/100#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">assigned</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">None</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">wontfix</span> </li> <li><strong>severity</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">Showstopper</span> </li> </ul> <p> That link doesn't seem to work. </p> <p> There might be some value in making this proposal for individual libraries.
