Description

Some (library-) implementations of the RefArray interface.

Being an array-like object exposing just a const ref, it is typically used on interfaces, and the type of the array "elements" usually is a ABC or interface. The actual implementation typically holds a subclass, and is either based on a vector, or a fixed storage contained within the implementation. The only price to pay is a virtual call on element access.

For advanced uses it would be possible to have a pointer-array or even an embedded storage of variant-records, able to hold a mixture of subclasses. (the latter cases will be implemented when needed).

Deprecated:
