Is pointer stack allocated? (C/C++)

Wow, I didn''t know there is way to tell whether data is on the heap or the stack. Can you post the code? It sounds like a nice thing to have

You have to post the code if you want some comments.

You only have the base address to distinguish between a heap and a stack pointer, so this is very OS specific.

Create your own memory pool, if the pointer doesn''t point into it then it''s on the stack Seriously, I have no idea.

Maybe this will help: Object On The Stack.

Just because an object isnt allocated on the stack doesn''t mean it can be safely deleted. Most implementations have an area for global variables, an area for static variables, as well as the heap. If an object isnt on the stack, it could be in either of these areas of memory, and so it cannot be safely deleted until you know for sure it is on the heap. As far as i know there is no completely safe and portable solution to this problem.

Right.. I forgot the code.. anyway, it''s the code from that flipcode article that was mentioned earlier in the thread. My problem with it was that it just seemed too long; it had functions that I believed could be condensed into one, but I didn''t understand what it was doing, so I couldn''t safely do what I wanted with it.
