     Type:  Bugs              |      Status:  new     
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  pool    
  Version:  Boost 1.49.0      |    Severity:  Cosmetic

------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 When constructing a pool, a 'max_size' parameter can be given. If non
 zero, the documentation states that the pool will not allow more than
 'max_chunks' at once.

 However, this restriction is not taken into account in function
 ordered_malloc(n) :

 {{{
 boost::pool<> p(sizeof(int), 16, 16);

 void *ptr = p.ordered_malloc(32);  // Succeeds
 }}}

 Either the documentation should be precised, either the illustrated
 allocation should fail.
