@jmachowinski thanks for fixing this issue. (it's been a looooong time... 😓 )
the approach looks good to me. a couple of things.
- you happened to miss the DCO.
- a few deprecated warning (which are added by this PR) detected on else where.
btw, the custom allocator path is still left broken? i think this PR explicitly leaves the retyped_allocate/retyped_deallocate bugs in place for non-std::allocator users. it means users with custom allocators will still hit the same ASAN/valgrind issues. It would be worth a comment or deprecation warning on the non-default path as well?

@fujitatomoya This is the 'tick' version of this patch. It is also a first draft version (which I should have written in the pr...) as I did not wont to polish it if the patch got turned down again. #3054 was discussed in the last PMC meeting and was turned down for two reasons :
The big drawback of #3054 was that users of custom allocators would silently fall back to malloc / free for everything happening in rcl. I am not planning on fixing the code path for custom allocators, as the plan is to remove it altogether after the next release. I will mark it as deprecated though. |

This fixes a bunch of warnings if using ASAN / valgrind on newer OS versions. It also fixed a real bug, as giving the wrong size on deallocate is undefined behavior according to the C++ standard. This version of the patch keeps the behavior for users that specified an own allocator the same and in therefore back portable. Signed-off-by: Janosch Machowinski <J.Machowinski@cellumation.com>
This commit adds the feature, that the user can now specify a method rcl_allocator_t get_rcl_allocator() on the given allocator. This method will be called if present, to get the rcl allocator. If the method is not present, the code will fall back to the old (and faulty) implementation and show a deprecation warning. Signed-off-by: Janosch Machowinski <J.Machowinski@cellumation.com>
