Freeing Stack Memory
The following program allocates stack memory for the stack_addr variable. Because the memory was allocated on the stack, the program cannot deallocate it.
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
void *stack_addr = &stack_addr;
/* Error: freeing a stack address */
free(stack_addr);
return 0;
}
