Re: [cdt-dev] Variable on stack or heap?

[Gavin Rehkemper <gavreh@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have a variable, and we know it is a pointer. How do we determine whether it points to something allocated on the heap (malloc'd, for example), or something allocated on the stack (an array of finite length).

Thanks for the help!

Never herd of syntax to declare variable in C in the heap. What do you mean?
