Choose proper container... automatically?
summary
An automated tool analyzes collection usage patterns and recommends swapping between vector/list/deque equivalents to improve time or memory behavior, using symbolic execution and static analysis to trace element access and iterator semantics. A prototype checker is released as open source checker and runs on real codebases (author reports it also works for Java), flagging unsafe choices and suggesting concrete replacements; demo shows it finding problematic list usages and better alternatives.
