The pool code about which the following warnings complain:

const size_type num_chunks = total_req_size / partition_size + static_cast<bool>(total_req_size % partition_size);

The cast is intentional. The intent is to add one if the result of

Another test I tried was a map, actually declared

It's complaining, I think, because of the mixing of bool and size_t in the same calculation. I verified that it works correctly, however. I was afraid that num_chunks would be 0 or 1 only, but that is not the case. So no really bad problem here. like
