Error while copying one vector to other c++ - c++

Question

I have overloaded allocator for most of the stl containers below is the code. The code is from here
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <list>
namespace outside
{
template<typename T>
struct MyAllocator
{
typedef typename std::allocator<T>::value_type value_type;
typedef typename std::allocator<T>::pointer pointer;
typedef typename std::allocator<T>::const_pointer const_pointer;
typedef typename std::allocator<T>::reference reference;
typedef typename std::allocator<T>::const_reference const_reference;
typedef typename std::allocator<T>::size_type size_type;
pointer allocate (size_type n, typename std::allocator<void>::const_pointer hint=0)
{
std::cerr << "allocate..." << std::endl;
return std::allocator<T>{}.allocate(n, hint);
}
void deallocate (pointer p, size_type n)
{
std::cerr << "deallocate..." << std::endl;
return std::allocator<T>{}.deallocate(p, n);
}
template <class Type> struct rebind
{
typedef MyAllocator<Type> other;
};
MyAllocator()
{
}
MyAllocator(const MyAllocator<T>& other )
{
}
template< class U >
MyAllocator( const MyAllocator<U>& other )
{
}
};
} // namespace outside
namespace outer
{
template<class T>
using vector = ::std::vector<T, outside::MyAllocator<T>>;
template<class T>
using list = ::std::list<T, outside::MyAllocator<T>>;
}
int main()
{
outer::vector<int> myVector1;
outer::vector<int> myVector2;
myVector1.push_back(10);
myVector1.push_back(20);
// myVector2 = myVector1; // Getting compilation error
for (auto i = myVector1.begin(); i != myVector1.end(); ++i) {
std::cout << *i << ' ';
}
std::list<int> myList1;
std::list<int> myList2;
myList2 = myList1; // // No compilation error
}
Copying one vector to another vector is giving me error. While for the same code copying one list to another list is working fine.

I am trying to understand why this is the case and solution for this problem ?

vector::operator= requires vector::operator!=, which requires allocator::operator!=, which doesn't exist. Without it, the function can't be created. Simply add an operator!= to your allocator. While you're at it, also make sure you have all the other required allocator functions. If memory serves me right, you're missing a fair number.

Answer 2

Change the definition to struct MyAllocator: public std::allocator<T> and the code will compile.
