Why not use std::vector here ? You get the interfacing with C using &v[0].
True. And thinking about it, I can't actually remember ever using it either, but that was the motivation for providing it if my memory is correct. My only complaint about std::vector is that the &v[0] always feels like a hack to me, even if it is guarenteed to work. John.
