Re: C++ Memory Management Innovation: GC Allocator

There are benefits for using TLS. Think of a simple contrived scenario
like:

void function() {
 // I need to allocate from m_alloc...
 // How can I do this without adding any parameters?

}

void thread() {
 GenericAllocator m_alloc;
 function();

}

AFAICT, your allocator can use TLS as-is... Basically, something like:

void function() {
 GenericAllocator* const pm_alloc = pthread_getspecific(...);
 // Now I can allocate from m_alloc! :^D

}

void thread() {
 GenericAllocator m_alloc;
 pthread_setspecific(..., &m_alloc);
 function();

}

Don't you think that your design could "possibly" benefit from using TLS?
IMVHO, it would increase its flexibility...
