The C standard library by default has this as the language would be pretty useless without it. If they are not, they are freed from memory.Įnough of that, lets go over how C/C++ manages memory. It constantly scans calls and the main scope and checks whether instances of objects are being used at all. A garbage collector is essentially a program that runs in unison with the user-written program. You will also notice that strings and objects have quite a bit in common when it comes to memory allocation.Ĭ and C++ lack what is called a garbage collector. The memory isnt dynamic and needs to be managed dynamically.
The reason that this seciton is being taught after everything above is mainly because memory management is more complex in c and c++ than it is in other languages.
