Describe the question

When using the sdk, the Aws::Crt types that wrap stl containers use custom allocators by default. This disables the castings of the stl to the AWS::crt (e.g. std::string to Aws::Crt:String).

Is there any way to disable these custom allocators?

I don't think that its possible to disable the custom memory manager for this sdk. Would using user defined conversion functions work for your use case?

I think the library should provide user-defined conversions for Aws::Crt::String and Aws:_Crt::Vector to those in the STL. I think it is necessary for the library to allow avoiding unnecessary copies. The other alternative should be to completely disable the memory manager as is done in the aws C++ sdk Link

Thanks for your feedback. This is something that is not currently supported, but I will change this to a feature request. I don't have a timeline for when this might get added, but I encourage you to upvote the initial comment if you would like this added to this sdk.
