Well efficency isn't my biggest concern, I fear the deallocation which may produce memory leaks. > The only other thing I can think he might have been talking about is > that heap-based solutions are hard to use on embedded systems and > stuff like that, which might be a worry if you're working on those > things. Not embedded systems but message handling systems for air traffic control which are designed for 99,995% availability. This means rebooting maximum once a year, not twice a day like with M$-Windows. So, does anybody know more details about unbounded_strings? How does it work? Does it recycle deallocated memory by 100%? If not I'll better stay away from it.
