[Boost-users] boost::ptr_array to use or not?

Hi, I have an pointer array of objects as follows: bucket * m_buckets[BUCKET_SIZE]; Because this array is a set size does it make sense to use a boost::ptr_array? boost::ptr_array<bucket, BUCKET_SIZE> m_buckets; * Note: One thing I first noticed with boost::array is that I cannot perform operations such as inserting at a desired index: // Existing code. m_buckets[bit] = new bucket(k,v); My goal is to use as many smart pointers as I can and less heap allocation. Thanks in advance, jc
