Smart pointers were one of the many powerful additions to C++11, providing programmers with easy-to-use tools to help manage memory resources and avoid certain kinds of memory errors. This back-to-basics session will give you a solid foundation in smart pointers, explaining what smart pointers are in general and how to use the standard smart pointer types std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr. It will present a set of clear guidelines for when and how to use smart pointers. Attendees will leave this session having learned, among other things, how to write code that never leaks memory.
