> Most high performance projects use vector and little else. Right. And then it is actually a lot simpler to simply use pointer + size pairs [1] instead of std::vector. Changing to explicit allocation was the best decision I've made. I now find myself not longing for any C++ features anymore at all. I haven't needed anything besides a little allocation wrapper [2] and maybe a string-to-hash map since. [1] Or n pointers + 1 size for parallel arrays, indicating that it's a bad idea to glue pointer + size in the first place.
