MT allocator, part 2...

[Stefan Olsson]

Hi again!

I forgot two other questions that has been on my mind for a while...
- operator new() always uses malloc() in libstdc++. Snip from the C++ 
standard 18.4.1.1 "Whether the attempt involves a call to the Standard C 
library function malloc is unspecified." Have there been discussions 
about using the default (or any other allocator such as the MT allocator 
that I am talking about) instead? And if so, how could this be defined 
without breaking the standard compliance?

- Basically the same question goes for allocation related to exception 
handling (see function __cxa_allocate_exception(std::size_t thrown_size) 
in libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_alloc.cc). I fully understand that this is 
a much more complex issue to solve, but exception handling is one of the 
great features of C++ and if we can find a way to lower the performance 
penalty of using it...
