In new issue 7/2013 (14) of Programista magazine there is my next article (in Polish) - "Inteligentne wskaźniki w C++11" (Smart Pointers in C++11). This is a long one. In this article I introduce the problem of manual memory management in C++ along with the concept of object lifetime and the matter of object ownership. I then describe RAII idiom and explain what smart pointer mean. I describe features of smart pointer classes available in C++11 standard library (auto_ptr, unique_ptr, shared_ptr, weak_ptr) and show how to use them with short examples. I also touch some additional topics like writing custom deleters and show source code of custom implementation of a simple smart pointer.

You can find the magazine e.g. in Empik stores, as well as subscribe for electronic or paper version.
