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 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.

m_buckets.replace<bit>( new bucket(k,v) ); or m_buckets.replace( bit, new bucket(k.v) ); should work for boost::ptr_array dependending on whether "bit" is known at compile time. -Thorsten
