A guide to deciding between Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) and manual memory management in Carbon to balance safety and performance in critical paths.
Interoperability Strategy for C++ Integration Carbon aims for bidirectional interoperability with C++, allowing existing C++ code to be utilized within Carbon projects. A primary design challenge involves determining the mechanism for importing C++ types and functions while maintaining language integrity. One approach relies on header-based imports, utilizin
Carbon-C++ Interop Boundary Carbon is designed to allow incremental migration from C++ through bidirectional interoperability. This requires the Carbon compiler to maintain a consistent representation of types and memory layouts when interfacing with existing C++ codebases. Given the experimental nature of the language, there is uncertainty regarding how the
