pointerfriendly
pointerfriendly is a term used in computer programming to describe code or data structures that are designed to be easily and safely manipulated using pointers. Pointers are memory addresses that refer to the location of other data. Code that is pointerfriendly allows for efficient memory management and direct access to data, which can be beneficial for performance-critical applications.
When code is pointerfriendly, it typically means that memory is allocated and deallocated in a predictable
Data structures that are pointerfriendly often involve linked lists, trees, or graphs, where elements are connected
The concept of pointerfriendly extends to memory allocation strategies as well. Techniques like memory pooling or
