RealtimeSanitizer checks the promise that a function never blocks
Mark a function [[clang::nonblocking]] and RealtimeSanitizer verifies at runtime that nothing inside it allocates, locks, or makes a syscall. It is the sanitizer for audio callbacks, control loops, and any deadline-bound code where a hidden malloc is a dropped frame. Episode 3 of the verification series.
std::inplace_vector is a vector that never touches the heap
C++26 adds std::inplace_vector<T, N>, a sequence container with a fixed compile-time capacity whose storage lives inside the object. It gives you a vector's dynamic size and push_back with zero heap allocation, which is exactly what embedded, real-time, and hot-path code has been hand-rolling for decades. GCC 16.1 ships it now.
