As I said, the alternative is not a C array. Neither is C style malloc and free are used in games. If you want a discussion - argue over what I've said or ask questions if you don't understand something. Otherwise have fun with your own mental image of game programming yourself.

Yeah I missed the part where you said mmap. There's libraries that make that safer, but clearly there's a preference for working with the raw tools here.
