The STL_Allocator class in TCMalloc is an adapter class: you instanciate it with a (simpler) Alloc class providing Allocate and Free methods as in the comment you quoted, and -voila- you get a class that implements all the requirements for an STL allocator (follow the link for an introductory article on what STL allocators are and how to implement one).
I don't know if it will work, but try this simple wrap of malloc and free.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
