And how many millions of iterations have been done successfully in that "awful" system?
The very fact that you never imagined it I think says a lot.
- pdimitar 6y agoWell, I have been taught to take good manual care of all used resources. It is kind of a cognitive shock when you see all your training hand-waved away with "let the OS handle my mess of allocated objects that I'll never call `free` on". It's kind of disappointing on some level. :) As I acknowledged in other comments of mine downthread, I understand that different situations require different tradeoffs. It's just that forgoing memory deallocation wasn't one of them in my head.
