A guide to deciding between Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) and manual memory management in Carbon to balance safety and performance in critical paths.
Choosing a Zig Allocator: Arena, General-Purpose, or Fixed Buffer
Zig's allocator interface makes the choice local and reversible. Match the allocator to allocation lifetimes: arena for scoped work, the checked general-purpose allocator for independent frees, fixed-buffer for syscall-free determinism — then prove it with a leak-checking test.
