why cannot 'label' free store?

[vib.cpp]

What is it mean by saying that 'one can label the stack, but cannot
label free store'? what's the totally difference?

Perhaps that variables on the stack have explicit names, but objects
allocated on the free store has not. You can use a pointer, for
example, to access the latter.
