Abstract
A smart pointer for partially automated control of dynamic memory called dsrc_ptr has been developed. It is designed to detect memory errors, as a result of which IT products will become more competitive in the market. One of the clearest indicators of the relevance and importance of the problem is the report released by the US National Security Agency in the fall of 2022, which warned against developing software that may have similar problems. The presented pointer took into account the mentioned problems. It can be implemented both at the level of the programming language and provided by the library. The pointer provides a toolkit for detecting memory errors in software during debugging. No third-party tools will be needed to locate and fix memory errors. In the release version of the software implementation, the pointer gets a similar pointer behavior and has no speed loss beyond the programmer's settings. The advantage of the proposed changes over the existing alternatives is that the pointer independently detects errors during the debugging process, and does not incur additional costs in the release version. A software implementation of the proposed concept is given in C++ programming language.
