Re: Linked List & Dynamic Memory Allocation

Greetings,

I have everything working now. Thanks for your tips, suggestions and
guidance. I have better understanding of how programs relate to stack
and heap. I have created a singly linked list with dynamic memory
allocation enabled. Next task is doubly linked list but I've got a
good handle on that. One last question with this topic is, what
happens when memory allocated with malloc is not freed with free? I
am not seeing an immediate disaster when I deliberately leave out call
to free. And with every new record/item for which memory is allocated
do I need to call free( ) for every single memory allocation call or
just once? Thanks.
