My 40 Pointers. If you have that many data points and presumably the size is unknown beforehand anyway then just have an array of pointers. NULL = no data. If you're storing an array of objects even if those objects are optionals then each time you resize that array the objects may well have to be copy constructed.

The fact that most people never bothered shows how much use people felt that approach to be. |

My 40 > Pointers. Pointers have to point to something, dear. Where do you propose to allocate the elements that the pointers point to? With optional the element is constructed in-place so can be CONTIGUOUS in a SINGLE container such as std::vector<std::optional<foo>>.

That was clear to them. I started off as a biologist. By the time we got to the programming for biologists bit of the course I was explaining things to the rest of the students... I know what you mean. Even though this was pre-spreadsheet! Andy |

Before spreadsheets some biologists did not maybe understand how technological that science will rapidly turn. The biologists in eighties were already bright enough. They understood how data points may get lost during long experiment. It did not take days to explain to them that there is nothing "fancy" about it. |

Many have provided suggestions over the years on how to improve it. I've done my best to figure out if their suggestions were helpful. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Happy Holidays. * With the title I'm saying 2020 C++, including my repo, is far from perfect. ;) I blame one wart (WSAStartup) on Windows and this one on Linux. The rest are on me. -------------------------------------------------------- There's a link to my repo and a link to this file: https://github.com/Ebenezer-group/onwards/blob/master/src/cmw/tiers/cmwA.cc for the Linux wart that I mentioned. I seem to be inheriting the commanding heights of C++. My guess is that's why the post was censored: some people aren't happy about that. Long live comp.lang.c++. Brian |

In your OP here in this group, you posted the wrong link to your own repository. You forgot the s in onwards. |

For example Finnish name for Santa Claus is Goat of Yuletide (Joulupukki). |

You forgot the s in onwards. Thanks for noticing that. I don't believe that was the case with the reddit post. Brian |
