How do I choose the right memory management strategy for my application?

Choosing a memory management strategy depends on your application's requirements. Are you looking for performance, efficiency, or simplicity?

I need high performance for real-time processing.

In that case, you might consider using manual memory management or a memory pool to minimize allocation overhead.

What are the trade-offs of using manual memory management?

Manual memory management can lead to better performance but increases the risk of memory leaks and fragmentation if not handled carefully.

Are there any tools to help with manual memory management?

Yes, tools like Valgrind and AddressSanitizer can help detect memory leaks and manage memory more effectively.
