Do you mean memory block which can not  be writed to cache or which can be accessed from application? Why this classes are needed? There is declared AllocatorBase::construct() but never used?  At least I did not found how it is used. What that is for?   Can you provide a link about how to use  those classes and their purposes, please?   Thanks in advance, Voronkov Konstantin
