What is the expected use case of a RapidVector? What does it do that std::vector<T> doesn’t do?
RapidVector is a wrapper for std::vector designed to ensure ABI stability across compilers and enable seamless cross-language support (e.g., C#, Python via SWIG). Unlike std::vector, it guarantees compatibility regardless of the customer’s compiler. It simplifies interaction with vector-like containers in multi-language or cross-compiler scenarios while avoiding std::vector’s ABI and interoperability limitations.
Is there a reason that I, as a C++ developer, would want/need to use this?
Only when dealing with RapidCode methods that use RapidVector, such as
Robot::PathPlannedPositionsGet. It will also be used in the upcoming RtTasks releases.
