T9U4 New Delete Operators

Dynamic memory allocation allows programs to obtain storage space during execution using the new and delete operators. The new operator allocates memory from the heap and creates objects, while the delete operator releases memory and destroys objects. Proper usage of these operators is crucial to avoid memory corruption and ensure efficient memory management.

Dynamic memory Allocation ( new , delete)

· The technique by which a program can obtain storage space in the main memory at run time is
called dynamic allocations.

· In this method , the space for the program is allocated from the free space during the execution
of the program.

· Operators new and delete that can be used for acheving dynamic memory allocation and
deallocation , respectively.

THE new AND delete OPERATORS

· The new operator not only creates an object but also allocated memory.

· The new operator allocates memory from the heap that is also called a free store.

· The object created and the memory allocated by using the new operator should be deleted and
memory should be released by the delete operator , otherwise , such a mimatch operation may
corrupt the heap or may crash the system, accroding to the ANSI standard.

· The delete operator not only destroy not only destroys objects but also releases allocated
memory.

· The new operator creates an objects , and it remains in the memory until it is released using the
delete operator. Sometimes, the object deleted using the delete operator remains in the
memory.

· If we send a null pointer to the delete operator, it is secure. Using delete to zero has no result.

· The statement delete X does not destroy the pointer X, it destroys the objecct associated with it.

· Do not apply C function such as malloc() , realloc() , or free() with new and delete operators .
These functions are until for object - orinted techniques

· Do not destroy the pointer repetitively or more than once. First time , the object is destroyed
and memory is released . If second time the same object is deleted , the object is sent to the
destroy the object and release the system resources.

· If the object created is not deleted. It occupies the memory unncessarily . It is good habit to
destroy the object and release the system resources.

new malloc()

creates objects Allocated memory

returns pointer or relevant type Returns void pointer


It is possible to overload a new op malloc() cannot be overloaded
