A default implementation with return 0 is ok for me.

I didn't found a definition of alloc_fun_t and free_fun_t.

It could also be something like thing that:

class alloc_fun_t
{
   public:
     // get some memory ..
     void* operator(size_t size);

   private:
     some memorymanager stuff to remember;	
};

It would be problematic anyway with complex link types and 
syncronization. With binary serialization in a shared memory area 
syncronization is much easier.
