#10183: MSVC: Compile error with _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC
----------------------------------+-----------------------
 Reporter:  raad@…                |      Owner:  pdimov
     Type:  Bugs                  |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined      |  Component:  smart_ptr
  Version:  Boost Release Branch  |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                        |
----------------------------------+-----------------------
 If _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC is defined, there is the following define in the
 Visual C++ headers:
 {{{
 #define free(p) _free_dbg(p, _NORMAL_BLOCK)
 }}}

 That leads to compile errors because of a function named "free" in
 array_allocator.hpp:

 {{{
 boost/smart_ptr/detail/array_allocator.hpp(174): error C2059: syntax error
 : 'constant'
 boost/smart_ptr/detail/array_allocator.hpp(187) : see reference to class
 template instantiation 'boost::detail::as_allocator<A,T,R>' being compiled
 boost/smart_ptr/detail/array_allocator.hpp(182): error C2059: syntax error
 : 'constant'
 }}}

 1.55 worked fine. Could that function be renamed please?
