Concept:
Manual memory management
Headline
The most basic Memory management technique: the programmer has to explicitly allocate and deallocate their dynamic memory.
Illustration
Take for example Language:CPlusPlus, where if an array's size is not known at compile time, it must be dynamically allocated:
void
doStuff(const size_t& length)
{
int automatic[] = {1,2,3,4,5}; // size known at compile time, no need for dynamic memory
int* dynamic = new int[length]; // size not known, need to use new[]
// do something interesting
delete[] dynamic;
}
This approach is obviously very easy to implement and doesn't incur any overhead, but it can also very easily lead to Memory leaks. If in the above example the "do something interesting" part can throw an exception, there is potential for a leak.
