     "native_inline", the value specified with this attribute will be included
     verbatim in the class constructor initializer list for this member.
 
+-   `native_custom_alloc`:"custom_allocator" (on a table or struct): When using the
+    object-based API all generated NativeTables that  are allocated when unpacking 
+    your  flatbuffer will use "custom allocator". The allocator is also used by 
+    any std::vector that appears in a table defined with `native_custom_alloc`. 
+    This can be  used to provide allocation from a pool for example, for faster 
+    unpacking when using the object-based API.
+
+    Minimal Example:
+
+    schema:
+
+    table mytable(native_custom_alloc:"custom_allocator") {
+      ...
+    }
+
+    with custom_allocator defined before flatbuffers.h is included, as:
+
+    template <typename T> struct custom_allocator : public std::allocator<T> {
+
+      typedef T *pointer;
