Another dynamic memory doubt

[Old Wolf]

You did know there had been OT replies. You did know that it was
C++. One can only guess at your motives for posting such a long and
relatively useless reply.

My money's on the OP being a sock puppet of 'Richard',
so that the trolling trio of c.l.c* can unleash their
incomparable wit on any non-troll who replies.

 

[Antoninus Twink]

Just stick to your trolling, and let the people who actually know
anything about C answer the questions. It'll be less painful for all
of us, believe me.

If "the people who actually know anything about C" is a (presumably
satirical) reference to The Clique, then I should point out that I
didn't notice a single member of that august group answering the OP's
question, although several decided to use bandwidth by telling him to
get lost.

If there is an error in any of my posts, point it out. But there was no
error, and all you can do is carry on with your stupid "neh neh not
portable" sniping from the sidelines.

What does knowing C have to do with answering a C++ question?

No one claimed that C++ is not portable, only that it is a different
language with its own group. Do you deny that there are more people who
know C++ on comp.lang.c++ than in this group?

That's why you have (and should) remain silent. You know nothing

All initial values of tables or numbers are stored there.

Incorrect. On the TMS320C2xx/5xx compiler initial values are normally
stored in a .cinit section, the .data section (not data if I recall
correctly) is used for other purposes.

Even excluding implementations which are interpreters there may well be
implementations that do not have a data section or don't even have sections.

Hurts to be so out-classed, doesn't it?

 

[Walter Roberson]

All C implementations have a data segment.

ELF file formats (e.g., SGI IRIX) do not have segments: they
have sections.

ELF file formats (e.g., SGI IRIX) do not have segments: they
have sections.

The situation is similar for DOS programs under the real mode flat
address model, i.e., .COM programs.

FYI Twink is the troll, not Old Wolf.

Surely, trolling is in the eye of the beholder.

At this stage, most of the useful information being posted in CLC is
being posted by Mr. Twink, so it hardly seem accurate to call him a
troll. And, obviously, if you do, it is clearly a twisted definition of
the word.

Now, though I would not call any of the "old guard" regulars, such as
KT & RH, "trolls" (though I certainly have called them other things),
lately, it has gotten a lot harder to tell the "trolls" from the "reg
wannabees", this later category being the one in which, I trust we all
agree, all observers would class you.
