I see. I need to study this thing some day.
When std::deque runs out of allocation, it allocates a new memory
chunk for extension without keeping the old one intact, thus avoiding
invoking copy constructors, using C++ class interface capability to
paste it together transparently. The class std::vector is just a
traditional array, which copies the old data over to a larger chunk.
Thus, it works like the current C stacks that Bison uses.
