e015: Not dumb pointers - a podcast by Chris Krycho

Box, String, Vec, Rc, and Arc have this in common: they’re not dumb.

This episode, we take a close look at smart pointer types—from a few we’ve already talked about, like Box, Vec, and String, to some new ones, like Rc and Arc.

• What smart pointers are, and what makes them ‘smart’.


• Why we want or need smart pointers.


• A bit about Box.


• A lot more about Rc and Arc.
