Allocator-Aware Software

Explore the compelling case for allocator-aware (AA) software infrastructure in this comprehensive conference talk from ACCU 2019. Delve into the performance benefits of local allocators and address the real-world costs of implementing AA systems. Examine four syntactic styles based on C++11, C++17, and a new language-based approach for C++23. Compare costs and benefits, including performance improvements and collateral advantages like rapid prototyping of allocation strategies. Conclude with an analysis of the economic imperative for pursuing low-cost, language-based alternatives in modern C++ development. Gain valuable insights from John Lakos, a renowned C++ expert and author, as he presents a fact-filled discussion on this crucial aspect of software design.
