As Adam mentioned in an earlier thread we have renamed static_vector to varray to better represent how it works like an array with size without requiring the values to be default constructible, and to better distinguish it from hybrid_vector. varray location: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/varray/ Documentation: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/varray/doc/html/index.html One open question is if the 3rd strategy parameter should be public or in the detail namespace. Based on some of the feedback we moved the strategy from container to container_detail, and made the public version varray<typename T, std::size_t N>. However, we wanted to get others' thoughts on this change. Additionally, should primitives be default initialized with the contents of memory like an array or value initialized to 0 like a standard container in the constructor, resize(), and emplace_back()? Generally, built-in types are initialized when the constructor is called explicitly. For example: int a; // a has the value of underlying memory int b = int(); // b has a value of 0 Right now the default behavior of our container is more like a vector than an array when creating values using the default ctor. Default constructable values are explicitly initialized in the varray ctor, resize(), emplace() and emplace_back() functions, even when they are trivially constructable. We find this behavior more intuitive and therefore we have made it the default. If the performance needs to be improved slightly the behavior may be changed or disabled in container_detail::varray_traits<V, C, S>. Here is an example demonstrating the current default behavior: vector<int> vec(3); varray<int, 3> varr(3); array<int, 3> arr; vec[0] == varr[0] and vec[0] != arr[0] Any feedback is very much appreciated. Cheers! Andrew Hundt Adam Wulkiewicz
