Discussion:
"std::allocator_traits<std::allocator<T>>::propagate_on_container_move_assignment::value"is specified as "false", according to (20.2.10[default.allocator]) and (20.2.9.2[allocator.traits.types]).However, according to (23.2.2[container.requirements.general]), this specification leads to the unneeded requirements(MoveInsertable andMoveAssignable of the value type) on the move assignment operator of containerswith the default allocator.
typedef std::true_type propagate_on_container_move_assignment;"in the definition ofstd::allocator class template,std::allocator_traits" class template for "std::allocator"class template, in which "propagate_on_container_move_assignment"nested typedef is specified as "std::true_type".Pablo prefers the first resolution.
[2011-12-02: Pablo comments]
This issue has potentially some overlap with2108(i). Should the traitalways_compare_equalbeen added, this issue's resolution should be improved based on that.

Proposed resolution:
This wording is relative to the FDIS.
Change 20.2.10[default.allocator], the class templateallocator synopsis as indicated:
namespace std { template <class T> class allocator;// specialize forvoid: template <> class allocator<void> { public: typedef void* pointer; typedef const void* const_pointer;// reference-to-void members are impossible. typedef void value_type; template <class U> struct rebind { typedef allocator<U> other; }; }; template <class T> class allocator { public: typedef size_t size_type; typedef ptrdiff_t difference_type; typedef T* pointer; typedef const T* const_pointer; typedef T& reference; typedef const T& const_reference; typedef T value_type; template <class U> struct rebind { typedef allocator<U> other; };typedef true_type propagate_on_container_move_assignment; […] };}
