Key benefits

Use contemporary C++ features to enhance code safety and reliability
Develop a deeper understanding of memory management mechanisms in C++
Write programs that adapt to the constraints of your chosen architecture or platform

Description

Memory management in C++ isn't one-size-fits-all; real-time systems, games, and embedded applications each present unique memory constraints. This book delivers targeted solutions for each domain. Written by ISO C++ Standards Committee member, Patrice Roy, this guide covers fundamental concepts of object lifetime and memory organization to help you write simpler and safer programs. You’ll learn how to control memory allocation mechanisms, create custom containers and allocators, and adapt allocation operators to suit your specific requirements, making your programs smaller, faster, safer, and more predictable. From core principles to modern facilities that simplify your work, you’ll master memory management mechanics, build tailored memory solutions for your application needs, and measure their impact on your program’s behavior. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to write secure programs that handle memory optimally for your application domain. You will also have a strong grasp of both high-level abstractions for safer programs and low-level abstractions that allow detailed customization.

Who is this book for?

This book is for programmers who find C++ memory management challenging yet want to master it. It’s ideal for those seeking greater control over memory allocation to make their programs smaller, faster, and safer. Whether you're a seasoned C++ developer or transitioning from other languages, you'll gain insights into how C++ can enhance your programming. It’s especially valuable if you’re working in constrained environments, like embedded systems or game development. Prior experience with programming concepts, such as generic and concurrent programming, is helpful.

What you will learn

Master the C++ object model to write more efficient and maintainable code
Automate resource management to reduce manual errors and improve safety
Customize memory allocation operators to optimize performance for specific applications
Develop your own smart pointers to manage dynamic memory with greater control
Adapt allocation behavior to meet the unique needs of different data types
Create safe and fast containers to ensure optimal data handling in your programs
Utilize standard allocators to streamline memory management in your containers

Finally, a book that covers the world of memory management in C++. From all the books and internet searches, this is by far one of the most important books I’ve come across on lifetime management and memory usage as per the standard to avoid undefined behaviour. I haven’t spent much time on iterators yet, but while everyone trivialises it, there are for people new to C++ many details not explained. I’ve been programming for 35 years in assembly, C99, C# on Windows, embedded OSes and Linux. I know about memory, just not C++ model, and very few engineers actually do when I ask.

This book is an essential resource for anyone who prioritizes memory management to enhance software performance.

About the author

Patrice Roy

Patrice Roy has been playing with C++ professionally, for pleasure, or (mostly) both for over 30 years. After a few years doing R&D and working on military flight simulators, he moved on to academics and has taught computer science since 1998. Since 2005, he has been involved more specifically in helping graduate students and professionals from the fields of real-time systems and game programming develop the skills they need to face today's challenges. Patrice has been a participating member of the ISO C++ Standards Committee since late 2014. He has five children, and his wife ensures that their house is home to a continuously changing number of cats, dogs, birds, and other animals.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
