For truly flexible storage a linked lists of buffers may be more the way to go.

hmm... not really.. plethora of known problems here unless u r careful (think speed of access.. ) if u can use then go for BOOST library (C++).

Re-iterating the point .. Again this is for flexible storage.. It has nothing to do with buffer overflow problem. That is a coding issue.

Just as an eg., windows CRT in scanf, gets, uses a simple algorithm. Allocate 4096 byte buffer array. Read inputs in chunks of 4096 bytes and keep passing!
