Not every CPP macros can be simply and perfectly replaced by a C++ template. CPP macros fundamentally operate at levels not understood by the language core semantics, for good or bad. You might try to encode/package information with the parameters T and A, but essentially you will hit the wall that __FILE__, __LINE__, and __FUNCTION__ are CPP artifacts. Unless we are willing to fundamentally change the way our current allocators work, I fear we would have to live with these parts of CPP. -- Gaby
