| Title | User guide doesn't cover stretchy vector problem |
| Status | closed |
| Priority | nice |
| Assigned user | Gareth Rees |
| Organization | Ravenbrook |
| Description | The user guide [1] stresses that objects must be consistent at all times [2] (and there's an example of stretchy vectors in the hash table implementation [3]). But this issue comes up regularly in integrations so there ought to be a specific section about the problem. |
| Analysis | Comes up if you try to use C++ STL vector classes. See conversation with Christian Schafmeister [4]. |
| How found | inspection |
