What is the correct value of max_size() for a fixed capacity custom STL container?

The standard is quite clear on the meaning of max_size() in C++11 Table 96.

Max_size doesn't relate to a specific instance of the container type. It is the maximum size that the type can handle, according to whatever implementation details limit it (the max value of size_type if nothing else).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
