DESCRIPTION
Kevin Carpenter talked to veteran C++ programmer Patrice Roy. The conversation explores the intricacies of memory management in modern C++. Patrice, who has been programming in C++ for over 30 years and serves on the C++ Standards Committee, shares wisdom from his new book "Memory Management in C++" while discussing everything from the pitfalls of over-allocation to the nuances of smart pointers.
The conversation reveals how proper memory management isn't just about performance—it's about writing safer, more maintainable code that leverages C++'s powerful abstractions while avoiding common traps that lead seasoned developers astray.
