Re: [boost] Yet Another Container: DynamicArray

Currently there is:

If you're fine with unique_ptr and most people are, you also have:

Heap storage, fixed size at runtime: allocate_unique(alloc, size, ...) Gives users everything they need for buffers. (They don't need a Container that is copyable). And for for: Heap storage, fixed size at compiletime: allocate_unique(alloc, ...) Saves bytes on storing size. It's better than unique_ptr> because it supports arrays-of-arrays: allocate_unique(alloc, ...) allocate_unique(alloc, size, ...) This facility shipped with Boost 1.72. Glen
