You can, of course, call the C realloc().

As I have proposed before in this group, a relocation "algorithm" could be
added to the STL, and used when vectors and deques are extended.  By
default, relocation would consist of a copy constructor call plus a
destructor call, but it could be specialized on a per-class basis
to something more efficient.

No extension to the language is needed, only to the STL.
