This course, ‘Detecting C/C++ Heap Issues in Xcode on macOS,’ deals with one of the most delicate/tricky aspects of dynamic memory management in C++ on macOS, providing valuable tips and instruments to work with it smoothly. Primarily aimed at those with a working knowledge of C and C++, it describes how to work with areas of the heap with an understanding of the need to be careful to avoid problems such as dangle pointers, memory modification, and leaks.
Understanding the presenter’s indicators of used functions and operators, participants will work through all provided problems, focusing on relationships between allocation situations and possible memory-related problems. They will explain heap issues on C/C++ in general and then perform them using Xcode on macOS, specifically focusing on harnessing Xcode, including the Malloc Debugging library and the guarded memory allocator. By solving the sessions, learners discover what Xcode instruments and other words like ‘leaks’ are capable of, and they are in a position to identify and segregate memory issues.
Upon successful completion of the topic, the student leaves the course with a sound understanding of dynamic memory management and the capability of applying general tools to diagnose and solve heap problems. Establishing clear pragmatics in conjunction with accuracy, this course, Detecting C/C++ Heap Issues in Xcode on macOS, will enable the programmer to determine how to avoid those instances that could lead to bugs that compromise the efficiency of the application across various domains.
