If we're sharing potential allocators, I just partially implemented a design inspired by a rather 'Bright' person. (Please shoot me for that.)

Was that an amazing coincidence, or did you have your quote generator cheat there?

Did you specify that quote, or was it randomly generated?

Given the fact it is not the first time he has done it, I'd incline to call the former.

I cheated. :-P

Now punish me... oh. (OK, I didn't cheat on this one, but it was a close enough coincidence for me to take advantage of it. :-P)

Actually there is at least one scenario in which run-time alignment values is required.
Using "true sharing" for OpenCL memory objects requires to first get the necessary alignement through an API call then passing accordingly aligned buffers.
It can requires alignement as high as 4096 bytes. Same business with OpenGL.

Just stumbled upon this problem in C++ which prevent to use a custom C++ STL allocator.
