At the beginning you allocate one humongous array X, and put the array and an integer pointer to the "next available element" in common. When you need some more memory, you start loading stuff in the next available element, and update the pointer to ...

I've seen and used schemes like that plenty of times in the past. And I suppose it is dynamic in that you are dynamically allocating space within the array to your different purposes. But at the language level, it is static. There is ...
