I didn't think these "non-intrusive lists" were actually used much in real world programs. Even if allocations weren't a big issue performance-wise, the sheer amount of work required manage the allocations themselves would put me off using them.

Just use Boost.Intrusive: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/doc/html/intrusive.html

It makes the job much easier.
