I've heard that MSVC does (did?) that, but if so that's an MSVC problem. gcc and clang don't do that.

WDYM? Vector is an abstraction over dynamically sized arrays so sure it does use heap to store its elements.

I think usefulcat interpreted "std::vector<int> allocated and freed on the stack" as creating a default std::vector<int> and then destroying it without pushing elements to it. That's what their godbolt link shows, at least, though to be fair MSVC seems to match the described GCC/Clang behavior these days.
