## Detailed Description

You may extend the Allocator class to hook your own memory management scheme into SilverLining.

Instantiate your own implementation of Allocator, and pass it into Allocator::SetAllocator prior to calling any other SilverLining methods or instantiating any SilverLining objects.

Each object in SilverLining overloads the new and delete operators, and routes memory management through the Allocator as well.

## Member Function Documentation

static void SILVERLINING_API SilverLining::Allocator::SetAllocator | ( | Allocator * | a | ) | `[inline, static]`

Sets a new static allocator object.

If this is not called, the default implementation using malloc and free is used.
