Ada. Time-tested, safe and secure.

This language feature is only available from Ada 2005 on. Ada.Containers.Vectors is a unit of the Predefined Language Environment since Ada 2005.

This generic package supplies a container (Vector) which can store any definite subtype in a consecutive list. This makes an Ada.Containers.Vectors.Vector similar to an array — however a Vector can change size after it has been declared, which an array can't do.
