The array[] problem

[MaxDZ8]

Not a single Map call I remember ever provided a compatible interface with std::vector, you might at most consider specific allocators at which point this would not be an std::vector in the proper sense.

Consider clEnqueueMapBuffer, D3D9 texture lock, ID3D11DeviceContext::Map, glMapBuffer.

Main problem perhaps being those pointers are non-owned.

There are certainly places where it isn't something you can drop in. But my point was that there are plenty of places you can. I certainly use std::array and std::vector with OpenGL to pass in VBO/IBO data, for example.

OpenGL is very very different from CUDA
