Hi all,
I know that some variables are stored on heaps and some on
stack in C++. How about functions? where does function
reside on memory? Is it stack or heap?
And are both function (not class member) and method
(function in a class) stored in the same location (either
stack or heap)?
Thank you very much in advance.
regards,
Sean

Neither. When you run an application, Windows' loader inspects the image
file, pre-allocates memory and copies the binary executable (functions and
all) into the memory. This memory is not considered to be stack or heap. Why
do you want to know?
And are both function (not class member) and method
(function in a class) stored in the same location (either

As above.
I sense a bit of confusion, here. :-)
Stack and heap are used for dynamic allocations though most stack
allocations have much shorter lifetimes, functions tend to "live" for the
life of an application.

Hi Will,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm just curious since we ocassionally have function
pointers and I was wondering where
the pointers point to? :)

Hi, there.
Recently I was working on a problem where we want to save generic
closures in a data structure (a vector). The closure should work for
any data type and any method with pre-defined signature.
When developing this lib, I figured that the
pointer-to-member-function, although seemingly an attractive solution,
does not work well for us.

Hello all,
This is baffling me. I am starting a session and I know it is setting a
cookie on my computer - I called getallheaders() and see that it is
setting the cookie, and it is also accessible in $_COOKIE. I cleared
all cookies in my Cookies folder before starting the session, and
everytime I run the script it does not create a cookie in the folder.
For testing I even set the browser to accept all cookies to make sure.

Hi All,
Is it possible to load a function at a particular address/memory
through the source program specification itself (or) is it upto
linker/loader combination which decides this?
For ex:

return 0;

Dynamically allocated objects reside on a heap, local objects on a

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
