sanitizers VS build-your-own-x

AddressSanitizer is really useful, it's similar to Valgrind but has much lower overhead.

And if you're up for it, I'd further recommend adding some ways to deal with buffer overflows in debug builds. The way I deal with this is by using Address-Sanitizer's manual poisoning api. Bonus point if you leave additional poisoned space between allocations so off by one errors are likely to end up in a poisoned region instead of nearby allocation.

It also doesn't hurt that Miri can find many kinds of unsafe violations even in unsafe blocks. Zig may get something like this one day, but even if it does, checking things at runtime is not a substitute for compile time -- the C++ Sanitizers haven't exactly solved the safety story for C++ even over a decade later.

This is where stuff like ASan is really useful.

Have you tried using tools like ASAN/LSAN or valgrind to confirm that there are indeed no memory leaks?

Compile with ASAN and UBSAn

All suggestions are welcome,thanks in advance

Make sure that apart from learning you're using the knowledge to create something either your own idea or maybe something from https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x (with your own twist if possible.). It helps a lot to be working on something separately and seeing the results of your new knowledge outside of a tutorial scenario.

28. Build your own X

Do some projects. Come up with your own ideas or pick something from a list like https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x

ello! i'm 20f and humanities student (ir/poli sci) with interest in coding since high school, but just now i have the time to start learning it. i opted for learning pyhton first mostly because i'm interested in automation, data analysis, plus was skimming over the tutorials of build your own x and was surprised that you can do a lot of things with just pyhton.

As for exercises there are plenty of programming task websites out there, most of them are quite boring but you can use a fun one like https://adventofcode.com/ . However the best things to work on are things you actually like so do some small projects. Games (start with command line stuff like hang-man) are common, otherwise pick something from https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x or whatever else ideas come to your mind.
