Arena allocation is inherently simpler and less error-prone than demand-allocating and demand-freeing. It's not valid to say that arena allocation is "hiding" bugs; what it's doing is foreclosing on the possibility of having those bugs. Virtually no large project has ever gotten malloc/free completely right in its first revision; for the past 20 years or so, most projects get this wrong to the tune of "remote code execution". |
