A dynamic array is part of the stl and called vector
  http://cppreference.com/cppvector/index.html
  http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/vector

It isn't thread safe out of the box, but boost gives you what you need to make 
access mutual exclusive
  http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/thread.html
in a portable way (POSIX, Windows,...)
