Calling this StackVector is somewhat of a misnomer
I agree on the name issue...calling it a buffer is also a misnomer as it would imply POD storage...
Note: StackVector does not solve all combinations of (1) and (2), but its a good start. :-)
Having a: - resizable fixed-capacity 'vector' (basically a boost::array with an end pointer) - resizable fixed-preallocated-capacitiy+to-heap-expandable vector (IOW AutoBuffer/StackVector, can be implemented in terms of the fixed-capacity 'vector' plus the capacity and 'actual storage' pointers) - fixed size/non-resizable dynamically stack allocated 'vector' - fixed size/non-resizable dynamically heap allocated 'vector' would, with std::array and std::vector, probably cover all areas.... -- "What Huxley teaches is that in the age of advanced technology, spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face than from one whose countenance exudes suspicion and hate."
