Note that this document does not outline a schedule for all those ideas, it's an initial description of possible developments that should be evaluated/prioritized, as developing a substantial subset of the proposals would be a huge task.

Thanks in advance for your attention and comments.

There's one container that I find really useful and that is not in a list. It's a dynamically allocated array that knows its size and allows initialization of elements with the initial value or via a lambda.

If fills the gap between vector and unique_ptr: * works with non-movable and non-copyable types (unlike vector) * works with not default constructible types (unlike unique_ptr) * has continuous layout * usable with range based for (unlike unique_ptr) * smaller than vector (does not need to store capacity)

Hi, So something like the proposed std::dynarray with additional features. It's an interesting use case, thanks.

Here's a prototype https://github.com/userver-framework/userver/blob/develop/universal/include/... We called that container FixedArray, because it is an array of a fixed size. And because it "fixes" the issues of dynamically allocated arrays.

Thanks for the prototype link. I'll this information to the draft development plan. Best, Ion
