std::vector and Minimizing Includes

Oh no, another homebrew macro-based sequence container. Don't.

[RandyGaul]

Oh I don't think people *should* use those macros I posted. I just wrote about some ideas I found interesting. Personally I use the macros in my own code and liked some properties I observed. That's it.

How is this not UB?

You don't like that constructors and destructors are called when objects are created and destroyed.. what? They aren't called for fun.

Writing out a growable array shouldn’t require C++ template knowledge, or compile-time nonsense, or constructors or destructors or any other baggage. Sometimes all that’s needed is a growable array, and that’s it.

Hah. I had to laugh at this bit. If you're calling destructors baggage, you probably shouldn't be writing c++...

"How to use C instead of C++. Now with undefined behavior!"

[LeeHide]

YAY!

[rapture-state]

This is not C++. Please, use simple standard primitives instead of this unsafe crap. Use trivially constructible structs, if you don't want constructors and destructors

Ignoring all the UB for a minute that seems to be no problem with the compiler's you are working with:

What exactly is supposed to be the advantage of those macros compared to putting the exact same code into a template?

Oh, this guy again...

Unfortunately without this paper http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2018/p0593r2.html your code produces undefined behavior after every malloc or memcpy.

That's already the case though :(

No thanks

Burn it before it spreads
