   There's no data structure description, but there is mention of a   
   static "reference containing map" on p. 267 (chapter 10) of   
   Jones/Lins. That paragraph mentions [Detlefs,1992]:

   The Detlef reference maps are per class and don't describe a map for   
   the stack or static area.  Nor do the maps handle pointers to vectors,   
   AFAICT. There was a working example of such a map that handled vectors   
   or any kind of stl like container; however, it's no longer being   
   developed:
