Placement syntax allows programmers to specify the memory location of objects created dynamically. The first parameter of the allocation function must be of type std::size_t, which specifies the amount of memory to allocate.
Memory safety is the state of being protected from software bugs and security vulnerabilities when dealing with memory access. Learn about the types of memory errors, the history of memory safety research and the different approaches to ensure memory safety in various programming languages and environments.
A pointer is an object that stores a memory address of another value or hardware in computer science. Pointers are used to improve performance, access dynamic data structures, and bind methods in object-oriented programming.
Memory corruption is a violation of memory safety that occurs when the contents of a memory location are modified due to programmatic errors. Learn about the causes, types, and consequences of memory corruption, and how to detect and prevent it.
A segmentation fault is a fault condition raised by hardware with memory protection when a program attempts to access a restricted area of memory. Learn about the common causes of segmentation faults, such as null pointers, dangling pointers, buffer overflows, and how to debug them.
A null-terminated string is a character string stored as an array with a terminator character (NUL) at the end. Learn about its history, limitations, encodings and improvements in computer programming.
A memory leak is a type of resource leak that occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations and memory that is no longer needed is not released. Learn about the consequences, symptoms and programming issues of memory leaks, and see a pseudocode example of a memory leak in an elevator control program.
Learn the syntax of the C# programming language, compatible with .NET Framework and Mono. See the rules and examples for identifiers, keywords, literals, variables, constants, and more.
