Variable Sized Struct C++

Question

Is this the best way to make a variable sized struct in C++? I don\'t want to use vector because the length doesn\'t change after initialization.

There are already many good thoughts mentioned here. But one is missing. Flexible Arrays are part of C99 and thus aren't part of C++, although some C++ compiler may provide this functionality there is no guarantee for that. If you find a way to use them in C++ in an acceptable way, but you have a compiler that doesn't support it, you perhaps can fallback to the "classical" way
