Dominic Hamon commented on MESOS-2418:
--------------------------------------
no more boost please.
there's also {{std::array<char>}} if it's available on our compiler/platform
suite as it is more similar to the existing fixed-size buffer usage.
{{std::vector<char>}} has the benefit of working in C++03 compatible compilers.
given we can't reach consensus on any use of {{std::unique_ptr}} i doubt it's a
good fit here.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2418
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: stout
> Reporter: Joerg Schad
> Priority: Minor
>
> In MESOS-2412 a memory leak was found because of a missing {{delete}}.
> Forgetting to free memory is a common error while manually managing memory.
> In order to prevent this issue from happening again, another strategy should
> be used to handle buffers.
> Among the options there are {{std::vector<char>}},
> {{std::unique_ptr<char\[\]>}}, or {{boost::scoped_array<char>}}.
