Difficulty: Easy
Category: memory_optimization
Asked at: Jump Trading, DRW, Tower Research, Optiver, HRT
Topics: c++, memory_optimization, templates, arrays
Problem Description
High-frequency trading systems often avoid heap allocations on the critical path to prevent non-deterministic latency spikes caused by memory management. Implementing fixed-capacity containers that reside on the stack ensures predictable performance and trivial destructibility, which is essential for low-latency C++ applications.
Task
Implement the FixedString<N> class template to store string data in-place using a fixed-size buffer without dynamic memory allocation. The class must be trivially
