Is it possible to limit the vector.max_size() in order to limit the growth of a vector?
If not, is having a function to watch the vector.capacity() to ensure it doesn’t go over a determined amount a viable substitute?
Sort of. You can write a custom allocator and use it in a
std::vector(the second template argument of the vector). The allocator needs to satisfy these requirements. However, doing this properly isn’t simple. And yourvectorwouldn’t just ignorepush_backafter the max size was met, it would throw.
