  1. Local and Dynamic Storage Bryce Boe 2012/09/04 CS32, Summer 2012 B

  2. Overview • Project 2 Code Overview • Local Variables • Dynamic memory allocation

  3. Local Variables • Local variables are stored as part of a function’s activation record on the stack void count_down(int n) { cout << n << “ “; if (n > 0) count_down(n – 1); }

  4. Dynamic Variables • Stored in the heap • Allocated via malloc-family or new • Deallocated via free or delete • Process’s memory management (provided by libc) maintains free lists • Requests more memory from the OS as necessary • Requires a local or static variable to point to the allocated resource
