I'm sorry if the question goes in OT.
I'm searching for a simple cross platform memory manager/allocator
library/class to simply allocate/read/write blocks of memory.
I googled around and I found some projects:

http://code.google.com/p/stdext/
http://memory-mgr.sourceforge.net/

there is also boost.interprocess but I don't need its complexity.
I'd like to know if there is a well-known and used one.
