>Description:
I am not fully sure that there is a compiler issue, but
the error looks suspicious.  I am writing a C++ allocator.
When I attempt to compile an STL map<> class with it, I
get an error message which itself looks like it has a
mistake.  

I have not yet worked out a small test case, as the entire
allocator probably needs to be provided, but the allocator
interface was working fine with gcc 3.0.4.

Let me know if you need a sample test case, and I will do my
best to provide one.  The coding issue  which causes the 
problem appears as:

    typedef std::map<std::string, Container*,
		     std::less<std::string>,
		     Pool_alloc<std::pair<std::string, Container*>,
				alloc_type,
				memory_segment_key> > map_t;
    // Pointer to the Container map index
    map_t* map_p;

The compiler error messages are:

/usr/local/build/usr/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_tree.h:531: no matching function 
   for call to `allocator_ns::Pool_alloc<std::_Rb_tree_node<std::pair<const 
   std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, 
   main(int, char**)::x_vector_t*> >, sharedpooled, (&temp)>::Pool_alloc(const 
   allocator_ns::Pool_alloc<std::pair<const std::basic_string<char, 
   std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, main(int, 
   char**)::x_vector_t*>, sharedpooled, (&temp)>&)'
../include/allocator.h:281: candidates are: 
   allocator_ns::Pool_alloc<std::_Rb_tree_node<std::pair<const 
   std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, 
   main(int, char**)::x_vector_t*> >, sharedpooled, (&temp)>::Pool_alloc(const 
   allocator_ns::Pool_alloc<std::_Rb_tree_node<std::pair<const 
   std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, 
   main(int, char**)::x_vector_t*> >, sharedpooled, (&temp)>&)
../include/allocator.h:359:                 allocator_ns::Pool_alloc<T, 
   alloc_type, alloc_key>::Pool_alloc() [with T = 
   std::_Rb_tree_node<std::pair<const std::basic_string<char, 
   std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, main(int, 
   char**)::x_vector_t*> >, mem_space::AllocatorType alloc_type = sharedpooled, 
   const char*alloc_key = (&temp)]


I am not sure why the candidate has the std::_Rb_tree_node<std::pair<const ..
part which looks like an error?  I think it should just be
std::pair<const without the _Rb_tree_node part.

Seems like a mistake to me.  Or I am way off and just
missing something obvious?  Please let me know.  I will
do my best to provide a sucint example if it is required.
The size of the allocator code is a little large though, and
I am not sure how to make it succint.

Thanks you for any assistance with this error,

marc
