Just an example, why D rocks, and C++ s***s...

You're right on the fact that D std is better for that but 
apparently there were shorter c++ alternatives (just searched 
"stdc++ read file in vector")

```C++
std::vector<uint8_t> vec readFile(const char* filename)
{
   std::vector<uint8_t> vec;
   if (FILE *fp = fopen("MyTestVectorData.bin", "r"))
   {
     char buf[1024];
     while (size_t len = fread(buf, 1, sizeof(buf), fp))
     {
       v.insert(vec.end(), buf, buf + len);
     }
     fclose(fp);
   }
   return vec;
}
```

or

```C++
std::vector<uint8_t> readFile(std::string filename)
{
   std::ifstream instream(filename, std::ios::in | 
std::ios::binary);
   std::vector<uint8_t> 
data((std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(instream)),
      std::istreambuf_iterator<char>());
   return data;
}
```
