The post discusses the performance of std::array in C++ compared to built-in C arrays. It examines library implementations (LLVM and GNU), assembler code, and benchmarks to show that std::array is not slower than C arrays, especially when compiler optimizations are enabled. Finally, it addresses concerns about object file sizes and highlights the benefits of using std::array over C arrays.
