**tl;dr** We can significantly improve the runtime performance of `std::vector` by changing its representation from three pointers to one pointer and two integers. This document explains the details of this change, along with the justifications for making it. See the [RFC] for more information. `vector` depends on `__split_buffer` for inserting elements. Changing `__split_buffer` to match `vector`'s representation simplifies the model, as it eliminates the need to convert between two different representations of a contiguous buffer in the same configuration of libc++.
