Bjarne Stroustrup on memory leaks, RAII, and safe memory management in C++
Summary
Bjarne Stroustrup discusses memory leaks in C++ and advocates RAII and container-based memory management to prevent leaks. The piece emphasizes avoiding manual new/delete, using standard containers, and notes historical references to auto_ptr and the move toward RAII-friendly modern C++ (e.g., unique_ptr in C++11).
