Hi ,all
I want to know the difference between char a[6] and char *p=new
char[6] and the difference between the heap and the stack ,and if the
char a[6] is corresponding to the stack in MEMORY,and char *p=new
char[6] is corresponding to the heap of MEMORY.
Give me some hint.
THANK YOU.

Could you have a very very close look at the name of the newsgroup you
are posting to? Is the name of that newsgroup "comp.lang.c++"? If not,
then you are posting your C++ questions to the wrong newsgroup.

The difference is that the second statement has no meaning in C.

This has nothing to do with the C language.

Since the C language has no notion of stack or heap, and since the

Give me some hint.
first hint : C and C++ are two different languages. please post on the
appropriate newsgroup.
second hint :
#include <regulars_please_correct_me_if_necessary.h>
C <ot>and C++</ot> have a notion of automatic memory and a notion of
dynamic memory.
Automatic memory is the default storage, and local variables are usually
automatic. This means that memory is automatically allocated for these
variable at the beginning of the block, and that this memory is
automatically freed at the end of the block.
Automatic memory *may* be, on *some* platforms, implemented with a stack.
Dynamic memory is memory that is allocated on demand, with a special
mechanism (in C, usually the 'malloc()' function, <ot>in C++ usually the
'new' operator</ot>), and that must be freed by code - usually in C with
the 'free()' function <ot>and in C++ with 'delete'</ot>). Not freeing
dynamically allocated memory (usually) causes a 'memory leak'.
Dynamic memory *may* be, on *some* platforms, implemented with a 'heap'.
Third hint : please learn the difference between C and C++, choose the
one you like, get yourself a *good* book on it, and post on the

Don't mind them, see some of the other threads:

for a discussion of why you got jumped on so harshly. It is unfortunate
that people are so rude to someone just seeking an answer to a simple
question. One (non-sarcastic) post pointing out that it's off-topic is
quite enough. No need for a pathetic display of severe personality defects.
But yes your post has to do with C++, so unfortunately you won't get a good
answer here. But let me try, to make up for the harsh treatment (flames be
gone, it's off-topic anyway):
char a[6], if declared in a function, is a character array on the stack,
typically (flamers note: if I go into auto, it's going to take a lot more
explanation than he cares to hear, so STFU)
char *p = new char[6]; assigns to p a pointer to the beginning of 6
bytes of dynamically allocated memory, typically located on the "heap" as
you said
Google for "stack" and some other stuff maybe "function" "compiler", if you
don't know what a stack is. It's an abstract data type, and can be used to
implement variables declared in a function in C. That is, it manages their
automatic cleanup after the function exits. In contrast, you must
explicitly call "delete p" in order to free the memory allocated by new --
otherwise you have a memory leak.
The difference is that they are basically different systems of managing
memory. With a stack, you don't have to worry about cleaning up -- however
the variable has limited scope. A variable on the heap persists as long as
you need it, and you take responsibility for cleaning it up yourself.

The point is that "automatic memory" is a higher-level concept, and
therefore more useful to the reliable, foresightful programmer than "on
the stack". In particular, automatic memory has properties that a stack
need not have, and vice versa.
Besides, automatic memory need not be kept in any stack. It's quite
common, for example, for the smaller auto objects to reside in
registers. Well-written C doesn't care about the difference, as long as
auto objects function as the Standard says they should.
char *p = new char[6]; assigns to p a pointer to the beginning of 6
bytes of dynamically allocated memory, typically located on the "heap" as
you said
Google for "stack" and some other stuff maybe "function" "compiler", if you
don't know what a stack is. It's an abstract data type,
Not in this context, it isn't. _If_ automatic memory is placed in a
stack, it's almost certainly a hardware one. Of course, it would be
possible to write a C implementation for a LISP machine which puts its
auto memory in a software stack, which would be an example of an ADT
after all... and a well-written C program wouldn't care a jot about his
detail.
That is, it manages their automatic cleanup after the function exits.
Erm, no. The demands of automatic memory do that. That's why it's called
"automatic", see? Internally, the C implementation does a lot of byte
shuffling whether your auto memory is on a stack or not; but the point
is that this is hidden from you no matter how it is implemented.
The difference is that they are basically different systems of managing
memory. With a stack, you don't have to worry about cleaning up -- however
the variable has limited scope.
YM duration. Memory has no scope, identifiers have scope. It _is_
possible to have allocated memory, with only one identifier pointing to
it which has block scope, but with allocated duration which lasts beyond
that scope - and this knowledge is important, because failure to
recognise it often causes memory leaks. Like this:
{
int *a;
a=malloc(100* sizeof *a);
}
Note that the pointer a has a scope of no larger than this single block
- yet the memory it is made to point to has a duration beyond the
block's execution time. In this case, this causes a memory leak. A
single return a;, which affects neither the scope of the identifier nor,
strictly speaking, the duration of the object, could solve the leak.
Ok,thanks Roose very much.You are a good person , goodness.
I doubt that. His information, in any case, is dubious.
In our here ,I learn from school that basiclly C++ is a extension of
C,and C is a subset of C++,expcept some difference.
That is, alas, a much-held view, but it's wrong. _Good_ C++ is
fundamentally different from good C. It is, indeed, possible to write a
restricted kind of C++ which looks like a restricted kind of C, but in
the general case the result will be bad C, and AFAICT worse C++.
Maybe it is that my teacher do not express that clearly
All too many teachers don't know what the blazes they are on about, and
all too many teachers do indeed think that they know C == C++ minus
classes, which is patently and obviously false.

They are two distinct languages, even if they share some common parts.

You are still topposting, which means adding your answer
**before** the quoted text. Your reply goes **after** any quoted
text (or possibly intermixed), so that things read in a logical
order. You should also snip any quotations not germane to your
reply.
Topposting is considered extremely rude in the better newsgroups,
of which this is one.
To correct a misconception, C++ is a different language than C. C
is NOT a subset. If your teacher is telling you otherwise he is
flat out WRONG. You may quote me to him if you wish, as it may
not be politic to contradict him yourself.

does not imply denial of the existence of bananas. I didn't
see Bruno say 'only' automatic and dynamic (actually the formal

The difference is that the second statement has no meaning in C.
C++ is the second group down the hall, on the the left...

Since the C language has no notion of stack or heap, and since the
second statement has no meaning in C, we can't answer such a question.
> Give me some hint.
first hint : C and C++ are two different languages. please post on the
appropriate newsgroup.
second hint :
#include <regulars_please_correct_me_if_necessary.h>
C <ot>and C++</ot> have a notion of automatic memory and a notion of
dynamic memory.
Automatic memory is the default storage,
In block scope. Storage defined at file scope is has static
storage duration by definition.
and local variables are usually automatic. This means that memory is automatically allocated for these
variable at the beginning of the block, and that this memory is
automatically freed at the end of the block.
Automatic memory *may* be, on *some* platforms, implemented with a
stack.
Dynamic memory is memory that is allocated on demand, with a special
mechanism (in C, usually the 'malloc()' function, <ot>in C++ usually the
'new' operator</ot>), and that must be freed by code - usually in C with
the 'free()' function <ot>and in C++ with 'delete'</ot>). Not freeing
dynamically allocated memory (usually) causes a 'memory leak'.
Dynamic memory *may* be, on *some* platforms, implemented with a 'heap'.
Third hint : please learn the difference between C and C++, choose the
one you like, get yourself a *good* book on it, and post on the
appropriate group - after you've read the group's FAQ.
Wrong there are 3 types of memory
That's 'storage duration'.
in C and C++
1) Automatic
2) Dynamic
3 and Static
Yes there are, but I don't think Bruno's message was 'wrong'.
The acknowledgement of the existence of apples and oranges
does not imply denial of the existence of bananas. I didn't
see Bruno say 'only' automatic and dynamic (actually the formal
term for the latter is 'allocated' (6.2.4)).
An incomplete statement is an incomplete statement. The
acknowledgement that apples and oranges are the fruits on this earth
does seem to be incomplete. I didn't see Bruno say 'these are the
subset of the storage types' automatic and ****allocated****[if that
is the way you want it ;-)]
BTW if you look carefully at the header he had indeed asked for
*correction* just in case you did not see here it is
""""
#include <regulars_please_correct_me_if_necessary.h>
""""
Maybe he asked for *only* regular regulars then in that case I am
sorry for jumping in your business.
Period.

An incomplete statement is an incomplete statement.
But 'incomplete' does not mean 'incorrect'.
You responded to Bruno with "Wrong there are 3 types..."
Bruno did not say "there are two types". He simply
enumerated two of the three.
His exact words from above:
"C <ot>and C++</ot> have a notion of automatic memory
and a notion of dynamic memory."
The
acknowledgement that apples and oranges are the fruits on this earth
does seem to be incomplete.
It was an analogy, meant to convey the statement: "Acknowledgement
of the existence of one or more entities does not imply denial
of existence of others."
I didn't see Bruno say 'these are the
subset of the storage types' automatic and ****allocated****[if that
is the way you want it ;-)]
No he didn't say that. See above. You're assuming that
his list was exhaustive when he didn't specifically say so.
BTW if you look carefully at the header he had indeed asked for
*correction* just in case you did not see here it is
What he said was, as you note, incomplete, but not incorrect.
E.g. "C has data types 'int' and 'long'" is a correct (albeit
'incomplete') statement. But it does *not* imply that C has
no other data types.
""""
#include <regulars_please_correct_me_if_necessary.h>
Right. What he said was not incorrect.
""""
Maybe he asked for *only* regular regulars then in that case I am
sorry for jumping in your business.

Wow!! Years posting here does IMO gives you more experience in
replying with irrelavent arguments. Wait till I stay here for a couple
of years. Next time I hope that if someone makes a wrong statement
OOOPs sorry an INCOMPLETE statement I would quantify as to how much
INCOMPLETE it is. Like is it a nit_pick or pit_pick or khit_pick or
mike_whahler_pick. Arranged in the increasing order of incompleteness.
Quite an exaggeration I know but Hey I have some exprience here now.

I think my 'argument' is quite relevant.
Programming depends upon logic. Your remarks seemed to
me to be somewhat lacking in logic. I pointed this out.
Of course you're free to disagree, which apparently you do.
