Reference: "Heap memory is in some ways the opposite of stack memory" Reference information: The fourth type of memory is the heap, which is space which is unused when the program begins, but which the program can pick chunks out of as it needs them. Heap memory is in some ways the opposite of stack memory: you can get a chunk of heap memory at any time, not just on a function call, of any size you need, and it continues to exist until it is released no matter what function it is in. http://tinyurl.com/42lumlh Heap memory is the opposite of stack memory: it is obtained from the heap (sometimes referred to as the free store [Stro1994]), or from one of a set of heaps, at run time. http://tinyurl.com/3z249yg |
