首先，在c++中，使用链表应该不会比使用数组更麻烦。对于链表，可以使用std::list或boost指针列表。链表与数组的关键问题是指针需要额外的空间和糟糕的随机访问。你应该使用链表，如果你

你不需要随机访问数据 您将添加/删除元素，特别是列表中间的元素

当集合不断增加和减少时，链表尤其有用。例如，很难想象尝试使用数组实现一个Queue(添加到末尾，从前面删除)—您将花费所有时间向下移动内容。另一方面，对于链表来说，这是微不足道的。

除了插入到列表中间更容易之外——从链表中间删除也比从数组中删除容易得多。

但坦率地说，我从未使用过链表。每当我需要快速插入和删除时，我也需要快速查找，所以我使用HashSet或Dictionary。

这里有一个快速的方法:移除物品更快。

While many of you have touched upon major adv./dis of linked list vs array, most of the comparisons are how one is better/ worse than the other.Eg. you can do random access in array but not possible in linked list and others. However, this is assuming link lists and array are going to be applied in a similar application. However a correct answer should be how link list would be preferred over array and vice-versa in a particular application deployment. Suppose you want to implement a dictionary application, what would you use ? Array : mmm it would allow easy retrieval through binary search and other search algo .. but lets think how link list can be better..Say you want to search "Blob" in dictionary. Would it make sense to have a link list of A->B->C->D---->Z and then each list element also pointing to an array or another list of all words starting with that letter ..

A -> B -> C -> ...Z
|    |    |
|    |    [Cat, Cave]
|    [Banana, Blob]
[Adam, Apple]

Now is the above approach better or a flat array of [Adam,Apple,Banana,Blob,Cat,Cave] ? Would it even be possible with array ? So a major advantage of link list is you can have an element not just pointing to the next element but also to some other link list/array/ heap/ or any other memory location. Array is a one flat contigous memory sliced into blocks size of the element it is going to store.. Link list on the other hand is a chunks of non-contigous memory units (can be any size and can store anything) and pointing to each other the way you want. Similarly lets say you are making a USB drive. Now would you like files to be saved as any array or as a link list ? I think you get the idea what I am pointing to :)

数组Vs链表:

由于内存碎片，阵列内存分配有时会失败。 在数组中缓存更好，因为所有元素都分配了连续的内存空间。 编码比数组更复杂。 与数组不同，在链表上没有大小限制 在链表中插入/删除更快，在数组中访问更快。 从多线程的角度来看，链表更好。
