I don’t really know how to describe this, but this is the code:

class A : public std::vector<A>
{
};

//....

A a;
a.push_back(a);

What does it do and why would you do this?

    This is curiously recurring template pattern(CRTP).
    It allows you to implement static polymorphism.

    However, it is a bad practice to use std::vector as a base class because it does not have a virtual destructor.
