/** @brief Standard Library-compliant allocator for the MPI-2 memory
* allocation routines.
*
* This allocator provides a standard C++ interface to the @c
* MPI_Alloc_mem and @c MPI_Free_mem routines of MPI-2. It is
* intended to be used with the containers in the Standard Library
* (@c vector, in particular) in cases where the contents of the
* container will be directly transmitted via MPI. This allocator is
* also used internally by the library for character buffers that
* will be used in the transmission of data.
*
* The @c allocator class template only provides MPI memory
* allocation when the underlying MPI implementation is either MPI-2
* compliant or is known to provide @c MPI_Alloc_mem and @c
* MPI_Free_mem as extensions. When the MPI memory allocation
* routines are not available, @c allocator is brought in directly
* from namespace @c std, so that standard allocators are used
* throughout. The macro @c BOOST_MPI_HAS_MEMORY_ALLOCATION will be
* defined when the MPI-2 memory allocation facilities are available.
