Memory management in C++ isn't one-size-fits-all; real-time systems, games, and embedded applications each present unique memory constraints. This book delivers targeted solutions for each domain. Written by ISO C++ Standards Committee member, Patrice Roy, this guide covers fundamental concepts of object lifetime and memory organization to help you write simpler and safer programs. You’ll learn how to control memory allocation mechanisms, create custom containers and allocators, and adapt allocation operators to suit your specific requirements, making your programs smaller, faster, safer, and more predictable. From core principles to modern facilities that simplify your work, you’ll master memory management mechanics, build tailored memory solutions for your application needs, and measure their impact on your program’s behavior. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to write secure programs that handle memory optimally for your application domain. You will also have a strong grasp of both high-level abstractions for safer programs and low-level abstractions that allow detailed customization.
