Decide when to use std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr to eliminate double frees and dangling pointers, and why std::make_shared is safer than the constructor.
Raw delete calls are one exception away from a leak. Here's how to choose between unique_ptr, shared_ptr, and weak_ptr — with working code, the cycle trap, and a sanitizer check.
Choosing and configuring smart pointers in C++: from unique ownership to arena pivots, with operational checks and failure-mode diagnostics.
When a C++ program crashes or corrupts data at random points, a dangling pointer or use‑after‑free is often the culprit. This guide walks through symptoms, root causes, systematic checks, and concrete fixes using smart pointers and ASan.
A step‑by‑step diagnostic guide for spotting and fixing C++ memory leaks caused by missing deletes or shared_ptr cycles, with checks, fixes, and escalation paths.
A concise guide to choosing between std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr in C++, with a comparison table, trade‑off analysis, and a compilable example.
