Detailed Description

allocator

In this allocator class, note that it is not templated on any type and instead it simply allocates blocks of memory much like the C malloc and free functions. It can be thought of as similar to C++ std::allocator<char>. The flags parameter has meaning that is specific to the allocation

C++11's std::allocator (20.6.9) doesn't have a move constructor or assignment operator. This is possibly because std::allocators are associated with types instead of as instances. The potential non-equivalance of C++ std::allocator instances has been a source of some acknowledged design problems. We don't implement support for move construction or assignment in eastl::allocator, but users can define their own allocators which do have move functions and the eastl containers are compatible with such allocators (i.e. nothing unexpected will happen).
