I get the error

error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<'
error C2653: 'MEMALLOCMAP' : is not a class or namespace name

My guess would be that the compiler doesn't find a definition for 'map'.
Another guess would be that you mean the standard type std::map. Did you do
an '#include <map>' and a 'using std::map;'?
