Intro To The Codebase, Part IV: Memory Management
Outlining the codebase's arena-centric strategy for memory management, and touring some relevant code.
In this video, I walk through the codebase’s strategy for memory management, which is built around an idea I’ve written about previously12: arenas. The codebase’s base layer includes an arena implementation, allowing all code a much simpler style of manual memory management than the standard approaches often taught.
