Re: [Stlport-devel] Deallocation of 0-sized buffer

[<fra...@fr...>]

Are you talking about this kind of code:

  typedef allocator<char> CharAllocator;
  CharAllocator charAllocator;

  char* buf = charAllocator.allocate(0);
  charAllocator.deallocate(buf, 0);

  charAllocator.deallocate(0, 0);

If so I have added it to unit tests and run it with a compiler without 
problem. Otherwise could you show some code explaining the issue.

Thanks
