If I need a large buffer in my program written in C++, which one is better?
Allocate the buffer in heap, and keep a reference to that buffer in the class
that use it.
Allocate a static buffer, and make it global.
How about: 3. Use a vector.
[Edited to add: or boost::array is a good option if you’re happy with the dependency]
