# Memory Management
|
|
|
|
- Avoid using bare pointers for dynamically allocated objects. Prefer `std::unique_ptr`,
|
|
`std::shared_ptr`, or another RAII class such as `BSONObj`.
|
|
- If you assign the output of `new/malloc()` directly to a bare pointer you should document where
|
|
it gets deleted/freed, who owns it along the way, and how exception safety is ensured.
