C++ templates for dynamic arrays with automatic check of an index

Existing programming languages enforce a programmer to indicate size of array and to ensure that neither index will fall beyond the array bounds. To implement alternative technique, templates of dynamic arrays for C++ provide for regular C operations on arrays and pointers combined with automatic allocation of memory and protection against memory overwrite errors without appreciable decline of performance.


Test environments: Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, 2002-2010, Borland C++ 3.1 (16 bit), 4.5, Builder 1.0, GNU g++ 2.9.6, 3.3.3 (ARM), 4.1.2 (64 bit), 4.2.3.

Donations: You must not pay for the templates. If you have decided to support theirs development - just transfer funds to one of the following WebMoney purses: R717244026810, Z995907015597, E482829916444. Amount is for choice of your own. Please, show purpose of transfer as "exarray". The transfer is accepted as voluntary donation, funds of which are directed to development and testing of the templates. Donation may be conditioned by implementation of additional functions by agreement.
