TODO: Explain in more detail Seastar’s shared-nothing approach where the entire memory is divided up-front to cores, malloc/free and pointers only work on one core. TODO: Introduce our shared_ptr (and lw_shared_ptr) and sstring and say the standard ones use locked instructions which are unnecessary when we assume these objects (like all others) are for a single thread. Our futures and continuations do the same.
Back to table of contents. Previous: 13. Discarding futures, redux. Next: 15. More about Seastar’s event loop.
