Although C++ inherits malloc/calloc, realloc and free from C, programmers are encouraged to use the object-oriented operators, new and delete instead. Not only are they much easier to use, they can also be used with primitive data types.

What is memory leaking in c plus plus?

Memory leaking in C++, or in any language that supports dynamic memory allocation, is a failure to release memory when its use is no longer required. This causes the memory image of the process to grow, sometimes without bounds, ultimately causing process failure due to memory exhaustion.


How does C Plus Plus handle dynamic memory allocation?

To allocate memory in C++ you use the new operator. To release the memory, you use the delete operator.double *myArray = new float [1000];//check and usedelete [] myArray;myClass *myClassInstance = new myClass;//check and usedelete myClassInstance;

Who is responsible for memory allocation while dynamic allocation of memory is done?

Dynamic memory allocation is the responsibility of the application. In traditional programming languages such as C, the application must call the malloc()/free() API (or use the new and delete operators in C++) to allocate and return memory dynamically.More modern languages provide more transparent means of automatic memory allocation. Those are less error prone but can be less memory efficient, leaving the decisions about explicit allocation and return with the runtime system, rather than relying on explicit calls from the application.


How to overload the new and delete operators to provide custom dynamic allocation of memory?

You don't. Remember that C++ is a superset of the C language. You can still use the old malloc/free functions to perform your own memory allocation/deletion.


Compare and contrast dynamic memory allocation and the allocation of files in secondary storage?

Static Memory Allocation: Allocating the total memory requirements that a data structure might need all at once without regard for the actual amount needed at execution time. Dynamic Memory Allocation: The opposite strategy of static memory allocation - Dynamic Memory Allocation, involves allocating memory as-needed.
