I took an Earley parser library written in Java and ported it to C++ with just using smart pointers everywhere for memory management and it Just Works™. Like magic really as I can’t recall having to hunt down any segfaults and I spent a bunch of time debugging that thing because porting from Java wasn’t really a copy paste operation especially since I never mess with Java so don’t know the standard library stuff.
