can just forward declare this

Done.

this one seems over-complicated for the need.
Can you just have a std::unique_ptr<uint8_t[]> and just initialize that as

memory_(new uint8_t[size]) ?

using new vs delete shouldn't make any difference vs malloc. If you do to avoid
large zero-initializaiton, memory shouldn'be initialize unless you do new
(uint8_t[size]().

Done.
