How does it handle circular references?

It provides implementation patterns for using std::weak_ptr to break ownership cycles that would otherwise prevent shared_ptr-managed objects from being deleted.

Why use smart pointers instead of raw pointers?

Smart pointers automate memory deallocation, preventing common issues like memory leaks and dangling pointers while ensuring the code is exception-safe.

Does this skill support C++14, C++17, and C++20?

Yes, it includes modern patterns such as std::make_unique, std::make_shared, and updated array support introduced in recent C++ standards.

Can this skill manage non-memory resources like files?

Absolutely. It demonstrates how to use custom deleters with smart pointers to apply RAII principles to file handles, network sockets, and mutexes.

개발자 도구

Implements safe memory management and Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII) patterns in modern C++ projects.

This skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge of modern C++ memory management, focusing on the correct implementation of smart pointers like unique_ptr, shared_ptr, and weak_ptr. It ensures exception-safe code by applying RAII principles, preventing memory leaks, and managing resource lifetimes automatically. It is particularly useful for developers refactoring legacy C++ code or building high-performance, robust systems where manual memory management is error-prone and safety is paramount.
