Describe the problem you are trying to solve.
There are scenarios in which using a table-based storage has usability and/or performance issues:

  • when stable pointers are required
  • when a component would introduce lots of fragmentation
  • when it is expensive to move
  • when there are a lot of components to move

Describe the solution you'd like
An interface that makes it possible to use custom storage plugins which can be configured per component.

Its been a couple years since this has seen activity, wanted to check if this was still under consideration?

Yep definitely! I'm currently working on v4, which removes a lot of blockers for this work :)

Great to hear, thank you!

I'm not very experienced with C but I will take a look and see if I can help contribute to this. Is there a design doc for how you see this being implemented?

There isn't, but you can see the design in broad strokes here: https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs/tree/storage_refactor
