My project involves lots of variables. I need to handle 2^15 double or

Failed to handle static memory? What's the line of code you used to
create this array?

This one, for example, does not fail to compile:
static float* floatArray = new float[32768];

I'm not surprised a vector was of no use; vectors are used for solving
a completely different set of problems.

Well I am surprised to hear that a vector is expected to have a
behaviour different from the line you wrote above, because the only
significant difference between that and

   std::vector<float> floatVector(32768);

is that the content of vector is zero-initialized.

Anyway, you are correct that std::vector is intended to solve a
different set of problems. The correct container in the case of the OP
is probably std::valarray.

HTH,
