> You can't overflow a vector. It's not a fixed size array. It grows automatically as needed.
His example shows the precise opposite: the vector didn't grow automatically. Instead, memory outside the vector bounds was accessed, i.e., the vector overflowed.
Yes, idiomatic modern C++ makes that less likely, by reducing the use of explicit indexes. Even then, you still can overflow a vector with innocent-looking code.
