I'm afraid that is too dense for me.

I don't think this is more about doing tricks that implementing than implementing useful allocators. Surelly this kind of constructs does not exist in C, but then C does not provide the appropriate apparatus to write conforming alloctors. Furthermore, ISO C++ is considering the addition of aligned_storage<T,N>. http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2007/n2165.pdf How do you reconcilie the above statement with the fact that an obejct of type aligned_storage<T,N> will serve as (properly aligned) storage for objects of type T? -- Gaby
