PROFILE

Hugh Sanderson

Worked on stabilizing the Haxe C++ runtime by addressing a memory management issue in AtomicInt within the HaxeFoundation/haxe repository. Refactored AtomicInt to decouple garbage-collected memory from cpp.Pointer by introducing a private Data class, ensuring AtomicInt is no longer GC-managed. This technical approach reduced the risk of memory-related edge cases at the GC and C++ boundary, improving the reliability of atomic operations in multi-threaded environments. The work focused on low-level programming, memory management, and C++ integration, resulting in a more robust native interop layer and enhancing the stability of atomic operations for the Haxe C++ target.

May 2025: Stabilized the Haxe C++ runtime by addressing a memory-management issue in AtomicInt. Refactored AtomicInt to decouple GC-managed memory from cpp.Pointer via a private Data class, making AtomicInt non-GC-managed and reducing GC/CPP boundary risks. This improves reliability of atomic operations in multi-threaded code paths and lowers memory-related edge cases in the native interop layer.
