Memory You Forget to Free
If you cudaMalloc a buffer and never release it, that GPU memory stays locked away. This waste is called a memory leak. 💧
Leaks Add Up Fast
One forgotten buffer rarely hurts, but a leak inside a loop drains the GPU quickly until new allocations start failing.
Every Malloc Needs a Free
The cure is simple discipline: for each cudaMalloc, write the matching cudaFree before the pointer goes out of scope.
cudaMalloc(&d_a, bytes);
// ... use it ...
cudaFree(d_a);Freeing Twice Is a Bug
Calling cudaFree on the same pointer again is a double-free. It corrupts the allocator and often crashes your program. 💥
Null Out After Freeing
Set the pointer to nullptr right after cudaFree. A second free on nullptr is harmless, which guards against double-frees.
cudaFree(d_a);
d_a = nullptr;Freeing nullptr Is Safe
CUDA defines cudaFree(nullptr) as a harmless no-op. That is why nulling pointers after freeing is such a reliable habit.
Dangling Pointers Bite
After cudaFree, the old address is a dangling pointer. Using it in a kernel reads memory that no longer belongs to you.
Mind Early Returns
An error that returns early can skip your cleanup and leak. Free buffers on every exit path, not just the happy one.
Match Allocation Lifetimes
Allocate as late as you can and free as soon as you are done. Tight lifetimes shrink the window where leaks can hide.
Let RAII Free For You
A small wrapper that frees in its destructor brings RAII to device memory, so cleanup happens automatically when scope ends. 🧰
Tools Catch the Rest
When discipline slips, compute-sanitizer reports leaks and bad frees. Run it regularly to keep your memory hygiene honest.
Quick Check
Let us see how to defend against a double-free.
Recap
You learned to pair every cudaMalloc with one cudaFree, null pointers afterward, free on all paths, and lean on sanitizers to catch slips. 🎉
