Memory Querry

[ranjeet.gupta]

Hi All,

I have simple question regarding the memory allocation and the compiler
optimisation:

Well if I have the file.h in which I declare

const class DMString ACCOUNT_NAME = "AccountName";

in which CompLangString is a class which class

class CompLangString
{
public:
inline BOOLEAN operator==(const CompLangString & s2) const
{return this->operator == (s2.m_pStr);}

}

Now assuma that I have compiled file.c

and I am not using the file.c through out the rest of my code at all.

So my question is do the compiler will acllocate the memory for
ACCOUNT_NAME in heap or not ?

In my perception Compiler will allocate the memory for the above but it
wond optimise as it is Globallly declared.

Please let me know how much I am correct, and pelase do rectify my
knowledge.
Compliler used is gcc

Thanks In Advance

^^^^^^^^^^^ is CompLangString

Disregarding the fact that the above pieces of code doesn't look much
like C++ to me, and the fact that you have not provided the correct in-
formation to be sure (is the file file.h included anywhere?), I'd say
that any decent compiler should be able to eliminate unused variables.
