Ami pointed this out to me a while ago. It seems as if we need to be able to support things like:
std::vector<int, std::allocator<char> > which was news to me. The current implementation is ... not so good about this. This is a QoI issue, where Dinkumware and RW do this. So, implement, figure out a way to test this, and apply consistently for all containers. -- Summary: rebinding allocator::value type vs. container::value_type Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: libstdc++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: bkoz at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC build triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu GCC host triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu GCC target triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21770
