+to reserve space in a fixed flat array</title><shortdesc>To be sure that there is sufficient space available to add new
+elements to a fixed flat array, you can use the <codeph>SetReserveL()</codeph> function
+to pre-allocate memory.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>When adding elements to a flat array of elements having the same length
+(a <codeph>CArrayFixFlat&lt;class T&gt;</codeph> type) the array buffer may be
+re-allocated to accommodate the extra elements. This can fail for lack of
+memory.</p>
+<p>If it is important to guarantee that the process of inserting elements
+cannot fail at the time of insertion, then the necessary space in the array
+buffer should be reserved in advance. This allows any out of memory situation
+to be handled before starting to add elements to the array.</p>
+<p><codeph>SetReserveL()</codeph> reserves sufficient space to accommodate
+the required number of elements, in this case ten. </p>

+fixflat = new (ELeave) CArrayFixFlat&lt;TElement&gt;(3);
+...
+fixflat-&gt;SetReserveL(10);</codeblock>
+<p>If the array already contains five elements, then another five elements
+can be added to the array and be guaranteed not to fail for lack of memory.</p>
