You can also use C allocation with `malloc`, `calloc`, `alloca`, and `free`.

If using C++14, you can use [https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/shared_ptr shared pointers] which does have automatic garbage collection.

=Programming Styles=
==Modern C++==
[https://github.com/rigtorp/awesome-modern-cpp List of resources]<br>
Prefer newer std functions available in C++17.<br>
Use shared pointers instead of new and delete.<br>
* Use clang-format.
==Orthodox C++==
[https://gist.github.com/bkaradzic/2e39896bc7d8c34e042b Reference]<br>
Somewhat opposite of modern C++.<br>
Basically only use C++ for its classes. Do everything else C-style.
The main benefit is compatibility with older compilers/libraries and easier understanding for people less familiar with newer C++ features.
*Don't use C++ runtime wrapper for C runtime includes (<cstdio>, <cmath>, etc.), use C runtime instead (<stdio.h>, <math.h>, etc.)
*Don't use stream (<iostream>, <stringstream>, etc.), use printf style functions instead.
*Don't use anything from STL that allocates memory, unless you don't care about memory management.
