Can someone give me an example of how to use the boost pool_alloc allocator interface with a Pair Associative Container, like hash_map? I tried doing something like typedef hash_map<long long,double,longLongHasher,boost::pool_allocator< pair<const long long,double> > > tLongLongToDoubleHashMap; ,,,but I get errors when I try to compile code that actually uses tLongLongToDoubleHashMap. Thanks! Thomas -- Thomas <hazard@imsa.edu>
