This all looks fine, but it's a pretty minimal subset of what Eigen has (although Eigen only cares about 16-byte alignment). Is this intentional or should we consider adding other features?

An easy addition would be aligned new and delete functions:

   1 template<typename T> alignedNew(size_t size, size_t alignment);
   2 
   3 template<typename T> alignedDelete(T *ptr, size_t size);

Eigen also goes to some trouble to support explicitly aligned types - for example in GCC, declared with __attribute__ ((aligned (16))).

• Action items that need to be taken.

• Major issues that need to be resolved

• Extra features will be considered for the future, but for now allocators is sufficient for supporting lockfree and rosrt.
