Legacy Resource Management

Easy · memory_optimization · Quant Developer interview question · smart-pointers, memory-management, lambda, c++17

Interfacing with legacy C APIs for hardware or network resources often requires managing raw pointers. Adhering to RAII principles using smart pointers with custom deleters ensures exception safety and prevents resource leaks without incurring the overhead of heavy wrapper objects. This approach is critical for maintaining stability in long-running, low-latency financial applications. Task Implement the SmartResourceWrapper class to manage a LegacyHandle using std::unique_ptr configured with a
