Standard containers by default place their contents on the free store. You can give them an allocator that allocates from some other place.

I might be wrong.
Quoted more than 1000 times (I hope).Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
lol I wished I'd phrased my question that way first! That's all I needed to know really.... thanks very much!
On a side note, it's not possible to write a standard-compliant allocator that allocates from the stack for a standard-compliant container. Not unless you basically take a huge block of stack and then do your own memory management within it.
All the buzzt!
