C.149: Use unique_ptr or shared_ptr to avoid forgetting to delete objects created using new

理由

避免资源泄漏。

例子

void use(int i)
{
    auto p = new int {7};           // bad: initialize local pointers with new
    auto q = make_unique<int>(9);   // ok: guarantee the release of the memory-allocated for 9
    if (0 < i) return;              // maybe return and leak
    delete p;                       // too late
}
class Flower {
  public:
    Flower(int id):m_id{id} { cout << "new flower " << m_id << "\n"; }
    ~Flower() { cout << "delete flower " << m_id << "\n"; }
  private:
    int m_id{0};
};

void use(int i)
{
    auto p = new Flower {7};
    // bad: initialize local pointers with new
    auto q = make_unique<Flower>(9);
    // ok: guarantee the release of the memory-allocated for 9
    if (0 < i) return;              // maybe return and leak
    delete p;                       // too late
}

int main()
{
    use(0);
    use(42);
}
new flower 7
new flower 9
delete flower 7
delete flower 9
new flower 7
new flower 9
delete flower 9

以上代码,如果提前返回了,flower 7就没有被删除,内存泄漏!

强化

  • 标记使用原始指针接受 new 返回的结果
  • 标记对局部变量进行 delete 的操作
