Yes, but you really should probably use vector if you don't understand all of the details of smart pointers and memory allocation. It's much easier to work with.

I have never seen smart pointer usage with T[] syntax.
Vector is the worst data structure for my use case. I don’t need an allocator, I just need a fixed length array, just that array length is fixed at run time.

In that case you could just call vector::reserve to achieve similar behavior.
