memory-safety-patterns

Memory-safe programming patterns for RAII, ownership, smart pointers, and resource management across Rust, C++, and C. Cross-language patterns for memory-safe programming including RAII, ownership, smart pointers, and resource management. - Covers six core memory bug categories (use-after-free, double-free, leaks, buffer overflow, dangling pointers, data races) with language-specific prevention strategies - Provides RAII patterns in C++ with destructors, lock guards, and transactions; smart pointer guidance (unique_ptr, shared_ptr, weak_ptr) with custom deleters - Implements Rust ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, and interior mutability (Cell, RefCell, Rc, Arc) with compile-time safety guarantees - Includes safe C patterns using goto cleanup, opaque pointers with create/destroy pairs, and GCC cleanup attributes - Demonstrates bounds checking via containers and spans in C++, and iterators in Rust; thread-safe patterns using atomics, mutexes, and RwLock across languages - Writing memory-safe systems code - Managing resources (files, sockets, memory) - Preventing use-after-free and leaks - Implementing RAII patterns - Choosing between languages for safety - Debugging memory issues - Prefer RAII - Tie resource lifetime to scope - Use smart pointers - Avoid raw pointers in C++ - Understand ownership - Know who owns what - Check bounds - Use safe access methods - Use tools -...
