------- Comment #34 from pcarlini at suse dot de 2007-05-03 21:45 ------- First blush, I'm not enthusiastic about this last proposal. Seems to me just a concealed way to do what Richard suggested at the beginning of this thread. As such, I'm still finding it, in spirit at least, against the letter of 18.4.1.3/1-3, according to which placement new returns the ptr, and "*intentionally* (emphasis mine) performs no other action".
