C++ Committee vs One Allocation

Text on the meme

APPROACHES TO MEMORY MANAGEMENT C++ committee brings: RAII fifty different overloaded versions of operator new and operator delete exception handling allocators as template parameters everywhere I bring: One call to VirtualAlloc at startup

What it means

A cartoon compares the C++ committee’s elaborate approach to memory management—with RAII, overloaded allocation operators, exception handling, and allocator templates—to a programmer who simply makes one VirtualAlloc call at startup. The joke mocks C++ complexity and the programmer’s blunt, low-level solution.
