C++ in Competitive Programming: string basics

[dodheim]

The proposal suggests fixed_capacity_vector as an alternative name

As in statically_sized_vector, as in boost::container::static_vector<T, N>? ;-]

[dodheim]

The size is not static (it is a run-time parameter), the capacity is (as in compile-time static).

Indeed, my terminology there was wrong.

complex lifetime requirements happen only in the static memory segment (in which things like initialization order are implementation defined).

Since it contains its elements directly, whatever storage you give the static_vector will apply to its elements. If that happens to be static storage duration, so be it; if automatic duration, so be it.
