Structs are value types, strings are ref types. If you have something
like this:
struct foo
{
System.String str;
}
foo TheDayToday;
then, where's
TheDayToday.str
going to be stored?
(a) The string is going to be stored on the stack;
(b) The struct is going to be stored on the stack with a 32-bit
System.IntPtr/System.UInt32 also copied on the stack holding the
address/reference to the actual string allocated on the heap. 4 1402
Can I take 50/50 ? :)

Sathyaish,
This appears to be a C# question, being asked in a VB.NET newsgroup, sample
auto-translated into VB.NET.
Public Structure foo
Public str As String
End Structure
Public Sub Main()
Dim TheDayToday As foo
End Sub
The TheDayToday variable is on the stack, "foo" being a value type its
content is also on the stack. Which means the str variable, the variable
itself, is on the stack. However String being a reference type means the
actual value of the string is on the heap. In other words str on the stack
holds a reference to a String Object on the Heap.
Hope this helps
Jay

Hi,
I apologize if this question has been asked many times on the group!
I am new to programming,
I know that there are three section in address space- one for code, one
for stack, and the third for Heap.
I just want to know how and where static members are stored in the
address space given to particular program. Is this different from the
way it is done in C?

Hi,
In my couple of years of experience, I have never found a single
instance where I needed to use unions and bitfields(though I have used
structures).I was just imagining where would these find
relevance.Though both of these(bitfields and unions) are used where
space is a constraint(so I can assume always in embedded systems,where
memory is particularly less)and we want to save space/memory.
As far as I have read, there is no...

Is is guaranteed, that a pointer to any object in C points exactly at the
lowest addressed byte of this object?
Specifcally is it possible for any platform/os/compiler combination that:
(char *)v != (void *)v
where v is an int variable for example.
If so, any real-life examples?

When it is being said that, "value types are created on the stack or inline as part of an
object". If a value type is created in an object, and that object is being
called, the value type in that object, is still created on the stack, I
would say, so I don't understand this inline business. Apart from the fact
that it is my understanding that "inline" as it exists in C++ doesn't exist in C#. Could someone please shed some light on this...

Hi all,
Would you please explain me where will be the heap stored if it
is declared inside the Class, As class is a reference type, so it gets
stored on the heap, but struct is a value type-stored on the stack

I'm curious about the differeng behavior of the "new" keyword when dealing
with value versus object types. If I'm correct, when I do:
dim x as integer
There's no need for "new" to be called since this "value" type is all set to
go. Is this because value types are stored on the stack so the memory
initialization is already taken care of?
Now, when dealing with an object type, it seems you do need to use the "new"

Hi,
As it is always stated that value type is allocated on stack, while
reference types are on managed heap. How about the struct with
string members?
stuct A { string str; }
String type is considered as reference type.... My guess is the
struct A is actually a valuetype with a string reference/address.
So it acts as if struct A { int ptrStr; } Anyway, the ptrStr is like a

Hi,
JavaScript hides its memory structure.
I know that numbers, booleans, null and undefined are value types
(value is directed saved in a variable).
I want to know:
- How JavaScript distinguishes value types from reference types by
seeing the variable content?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
