Performance cost std::pmr vs std containers

This blog post explores why memory management is a critical bottleneck in embedded systems and how C++17’s Polymorphic Memory Resources (PMR) can dramatically improve performance, determinism, and memory efficiency compared to traditional std containers. Continue reading Performance cost std::pmr vs std containers

RAII in C++ vs Rust- How Each Language Manages Resources Without the Garbage collector

Managing memory and resources like files, network connections, or locks is essential in programming. While some languages rely on garbage collectors for automatic cleanup (Java), C++ and Rust use RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization) to handle this deterministically. Continue reading RAII in C++ vs Rust- How Each Language Manages Resources Without the Garbage collector
