Introduction to dynamic memory allocation and memory safety in C++
In-depth coverage of raw and smart pointers, including std::unique_ptr
Practical exercises to handle uninitialized and dangling pointers

Description

This course provides a comprehensive exploration of C++ memory management, focusing on dynamic memory allocation, raw pointers, and smart pointers. Learners will start with key concepts such as malloc, calloc, and realloc, progressing to advanced topics like the new operator and modern memory management with smart pointers. The course emphasizes handling memory safely, preventing issues like uninitialized and dangling pointers. As the course advances, learners will dive deeper into exception safety, custom deleters, and using std::unique_ptr to replace raw pointers. The curriculum includes practical exercises and the application of the PIMPL idiom to improve code structure and safety. The course concludes with a project, allowing learners to implement a real-world game and object pool system while applying the memory management techniques learned. By the end, students will be equipped to write safer, more efficient C++ code, leveraging smart pointers for optimized memory management.

Who is this book for?

This course is ideal for intermediate C++ developers seeking to improve their memory management skills and optimize their code. Familiarity with basic C++ syntax and memory allocation techniques is recommended, but no prior knowledge of smart pointers is necessary.
