» A Garbage Collection Framework for C++ - An article on using garbage collection through the use of smart pointers.
» A Garbage Collection Framework for C++, Part II - This article deals with refactoring the code originally presented in part 1 in order to allow polymorphic types to be used.
» C++ Memory Management: From Fear to Triumph, Part 1 - This article discusses C++ in the context of several other popular languages. It also describes the kinds of memory errors that can occur in C++ programs.
» C++ Memory Management: From Fear to Triumph, Part 2 - This article explains design principles that will help keeping memory management error out of C++ code.
» C++ Memory Management: From Fear to Triumph, Part 3 - Presents a list of simple, powerful techniques that can be used to deal with memory in C++ programs.
» C++ Memory and Resource Management - Stephen Dewhurst discusses how the various features of C++ are used together in memory management, how they sometimes interact in surprising ways, and how to simplify their interactions.
» C++ Tutorial - Dynamic Memory Allocation - This tutorial covers dynamic memory allocation in C++ for both single objects and arrays of objects. A common beginner bug, dangling pointers, is also described.
» Containers in Memory: How Big Is Big? - Answers the question of how much memory the various standard containers use to store the same number of objects of the same type T.
» Counted Body Techniques - Introduces two key concepts: the use of a generic requirements based approach to simplify and adapt the use of the counted body pattern and the ability to dynamically and non-intrusively add capabilities to fixed types using the runtime mixin pattern.
» Effective C++ Memory Allocation - Using several features of the language, this article presents a framework for resource allocation which is temporally deterministic, provides for callback, provides memory pools, and can provide for deadlock prevention.
» Memory Hygiene in C and C++: Safe Programming with Risky Data - Memory management is scary. It should be: A lot can go wrong--often very wrong. But a moderately experienced C or C++ programmer can learn and understand memory hazards completely.
» Memory Management in C++ - Covers the design of a global memory manager that is as fast and space-efficient as per-class allocators.
» Smart Pointers - Andrei Alexandrescu navigates through the sometimes treacherous waters of using smart pointers, which imitate built-in pointers in syntax and semantics but perform a host of additional tasks that built-in pointers can't.
» Smart Pointers in Boost - Introduces smart pointers and takes a look at Boosts various smart pointer templates (scoped_ptr, scoped_array, shared_ptr, and shared_array).
» Smart Pointers in C++ - Andrei Alexandrescu discusses smart pointers, from their simplest aspects to their most complex ones and from the most obvious errors in implementing them to the subtlest ones--some of which also happen to be the most gruesome.
» Smart Pointers: What, Why, Which? - Explains what smart pointers are, why they should be used, and which one should be used.
» To New, Perchance to Throw, Part 1 - Explains why a class that provides its own class-specific operator new(), or operator new[](), should also provide corresponding class-specific versions of plain new, in-place new, and nothrow new.
» To New, Perchance to Throw, Part 2 - Delves deeper into the question of what operator new() failures mean, and how best to detect and handle them.
» Using auto_ptr Effectively - Explains why auto_ptr neatly solves common C++ design and coding problems, and why using it can lead to more robust code.
