.. title:: clang-tidy - cppcoreguidelines-no-malloc
cppcoreguidelines-no-malloc
===========================
This check handles C-Style memory management using ``malloc()``, ``realloc()``,
``calloc()`` and ``free()``. It warns about its use and tries to suggest the use
of an appropriate RAII object.
See `C++ Core Guidelines
<https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#Rr-mallocfree>`.
There is no attempt made to provide fix-it hints, since manual resource
management isn't easily transformed automatically into RAII.
.. code-block:: c++
// Warns each of the following lines.
// Containers like std::vector or std::string should be used.
char* some_string = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char) * 20);
char* some_string = (char*) realloc(sizeof(char) * 30);
free(some_string);
int* int_array = (int*) calloc(30, sizeof(int));
// Rather use a smartpointer or stack variable.
struct some_struct* s = (struct some_struct*) malloc(sizeof(struct some_struct));
