CppND-Garbage-Collector

The final project for this Memory Management course is to implement your own version of a smart pointer. You can think of this as implementing your own garbage collector, to use a concept from other programming languages. Building this project will help you understand both how to work with pointers and references, and also why smart pointers are so important to modern C++ programming. Complete the implementations and verify that your implementation does not have any memory leaks!

Building

To build this project, you will need a C++ compiler. The make script provided assumes the GCC compiler, however you may substitute an equivalent C++ compiler by adjusting the make script as needed. Execute the make script, then run the compiled executable.

If the code fails to compile, the execute won't be created or will remain the last-compiled version. Adjust your code to resolve compiler errors and try again.

$ ./make
$ ./compiled

Project TODO List:

  • Complete Pointer constructor
  • Complete Pointer operator==
  • Complete Pointer destructor
  • Complete PtrDetails class
