C3 solved memory lifetimes with scopes


C3 is a programming language that builds on the syntax and semantics of the C language, with the goal of evolving it while still retaining familiarity for C programmers.

Modern languages offer a variety of techniques to help with dynamic memory management, each one a different tradeoff in terms of performance, control and complexity. The Temp allocator combines the ease of use of garbage collection with C3’s unique features to give a simple and (semi)-automated solution within a manual memory management language. Whether you’re building low-latency systems or just want more explicit code without garbage collection overhead, the C3 Temp allocator is a powerful tool to have in your arsenal, making memory management nearly effortless.
