pointermanaged
Pointermanaged is a concept often encountered in programming, particularly in languages that involve manual memory management or systems programming. It refers to the practice of managing the lifecycle of memory allocated on the heap through the use of pointers. When a program needs to store data that is too large for the stack or whose lifetime needs to extend beyond the scope of a function, it typically allocates memory dynamically from the heap. This allocation returns a pointer, which is essentially an address pointing to the location of the allocated memory.
The core of pointer management involves ensuring that this allocated memory is properly deallocated when it
Effective pointer management requires careful tracking of when memory is allocated and when it becomes obsolete.
