Dynamic memory allocation is done at run time.

you print it as for example
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. int*   intPtr;
  2. intPtr=new int;
  3. if(intPtr==NULL)
  4. cout<<" Memory allocation fail. \n"
  5. exit(1);
  6. }
  7.  
if your program can not locate a memory then your program will stop

Hi all, I need to know, what is the difference between dynamic memory allocation, and stack allocation ? 1. If I have a class named DestinationAddress, when should I use dynamic memory allocation to create object of that class ? 2. If it says "dynamic memory allocation", is it mean the following code : DestinationAddress* dest = new DestinationAddress(); // code 1

If I have malloc()'ed a pointer and want to read from it as if it were an array, I need to know that I won't be reading past the last index. If this is a pointer to a pointer, a common technique seems to be setting a NULL pointer to the end of the list, and here we know that the allocated memory has been exhausted. All good. When this is a pointer to another type, say int, I could have a variable that records how much memory is being...

I've written a piece of code that uses sockets a lot (I know that sockets aren't portable C, this is not a question about sockets per se). Much of my code ended up looking like this: if (function(socket, args) == -1) { perror("function"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } I feel that the ifs destroy the readability of my code. Would it be

In C programming, I want to know in what situations we should use static memory allocation instead of dynamic memory allocation. My understanding is that static memory allocation like using array is faster than malloc, but dynamic memory allocation is more flexible. Please comment... thanks.

Suppose that you have a module that always allocates memory without ever releasing it because the guy that wrote it was lazy, as lazy as me. Now, you want to reuse it in a loop. What do you do?
