What's new in Android C++ development
summary
NDK r18 onward consolidates to Clang and libc++ and unified headers so builds match the platform; unified headers prevent API surprises by annotating __INTRODUCED_IN and catching mismatches at compile time. Native debugging improves with ASan wrap.sh (preloads sanitizer in a fresh process), UB sanitizer and _FORTIFY_SOURCE checks, a new fdsan for file-descriptor ownership errors, simpleperf + Studio CPU profiler, and experimental lld linker and guidance for 64-bit/JNI porting.
