How would you imagine that? Not-yet-in-Phobos packages are expected to be submitted as standalone ones, not as whole Phobos repo.

I meant people who'd want to just install Phobos from master. Probably not a good idea because Phobos changes often are in sync with compiler changes.

Added documentation clarifying the allocators' approach to shared memory. See section "Allocating memory for sharing across threads" near the top of

http://erdani.com/d/phobos-prerelease/std_allocator.html

Neat. However it's missing from "Synopsis of predefined allocator building blocks" table.

Thanks, fixed and pushed.

From the "Allocating memory for sharing across threads" section, this paragraph:

"All allocators in this module accept and return void[] **(as opposed to )**. This is because at the time of allocation, deallocation, or reallocation, the memory is effectively not shared (**it** it were, it would be a bug at the application level)."

Starred items appear to be typos or missing a piece.

Ew. Thanks, fixed and pushed.

Hi, Andrei.

I cannot compile the allocator.

allocator.d(799): Error: undefined identifier returned

At 499 line:
returned alignedReallocate(b, newSize, alignment);

Ur mistake?

Yes, mine. I don't have access to Windows so I expect a bunch of typos in the Windows-specific code. Fixed and pushed this one.

Thanks,

Andrei

I'm having a vision of a perverse version called MalignedAllocator...
