Heap Allocation

Allocate data on the heap with Heap<T> and automatic cleanup.

Concepts

• heap(value): Allocate value on the heap
• Heap<T>: Smart pointer type with ownership
• *boxed: Dereference to access value
• RAII: Automatic cleanup when out of scope

When to Use

• Large data structures
• Data that needs to outlive its creating scope
• Dynamic-sized data
• Recursive data structures

Run

oxide run main.ox
