Autofree

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A compile-time memory management feature in the V programming language that automatically inserts deallocation calls for locally allocated objects at scope exit, aiming to provide memory safety without a garbage collector or manual free calls.

    In plain English: A feature where the compiler automatically figures out when to free memory so the programmer does not have to do it manually.

    Example: "V's autofree means you write code like a GC language but get deterministic, zero-overhead cleanup."
