Things Not Taught in School: Heap and Stack
Not taught in school! An introduction to heaps and stacks in a column.
When looking at programming books, compiler manuals, etc., terms like "heap area" and "stack area" come up. What exactly are these? In the embedded world, generally, the addresses and sizes of sections are determined at the time the program or OS is compiled, and the addresses or sizes of sections do not change during operation. In contrast, "heap area" and "stack area" refer to memory that is temporarily used within the program, and they typically belong to some part of a section in RAM. *For more details on the column, you can view it through the related links.
