Hi SC, I was wondering -> are persistent variables always allocated on the heap ? or just persistent pointers ? My use case is storing a long list of dates and my current approach is to have a persistent vector<scdatetime>*. Also I have a lot of dereferencing operations in my study for the persistent vector. If persistentvars are usually allocated on the stack maybe it's worth refactoring my solution to instead have a list if indices and lots of persistent SCDateTime&'s if I wanted to squeeze max performance out of my study. I am not sure if this is classified as "programming help", but would love to know. All the best, |

Yes, they have to be on the memory heap.
