Hi, I have noticed in my development of a customized allocator for maps that the library calls the templated copy constructor in the allocator class each and every time the map is accessed (ex - through operator[]) I understand that the templated copy constructor needs to be called to get an allocator which can handle memory requests for Rb_Tree_Nodes. What puzzles me is why this conversion couldn't be done once and the resulting node allocator be used thereon after without converting the allocator each and every time - which could be a hit on performance. Thanks in advance Cheers Kosala.
