+<concept id="GUID-7DDEE87B-7056-5AAA-91A1-33D3D0D50041" xml:lang="en"><title>Array
+of packed elements, flat array</title><shortdesc>Describes arrays of packed elements in a flat.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>This is a <codeph>CArrayPakFlat<class T></codeph> object whose
+elements can have different lengths but are physically contiguous within a
+flat array buffer. Each element is preceded by a <codeph>TInt</codeph> value
+to record the length of that element.</p>
+<p>A flat buffer always occupies a single cell allocated from the heap and
+is always extended by the process of reallocation. A flat array buffer is
+implemented using a <codeph>CBufFlat</codeph> object. </p>
+<p>The following diagram illustrates how elements are organised within the
+array buffer:</p>
+<fig id="GUID-C36AFFF1-3BE7-5AF3-B852-B1AB3BBA257D">
+<image href="GUID-2472E5E0-C33A-51B4-8210-89D7DEFA87C8_d0e307761_href.png" placement="inline"/>
+</fig>
+<p>This kind of array is suitable for a small number of objects or for a moderately
+large but fixed maximum number of objects. It is not suitable for large arrays
+with a high turnover of elements. </p>
+<p>A packed array has the advantage over a variable flat array in having a
+smaller memory overhead for each element. The disadvantage is that the elements
+and their preceding <codeph>TInt</codeph> values occupy a single cell which
+has a higher risk of reallocation failure in times of low memory availability.</p>
+<p>This class is immediately derived from the abstract template
+base class <codeph>CArrayPak<class T></codeph> which is itself derived
+from the abstract non-templated base class <codeph>CArrayPakBase</codeph>.</p>
