what are dangling pointers in c?
427172
Dangling pointers arise during object destruction, when an object that has an incoming reference is deleted or deallocated, without modifying the value of the pointer, so that the pointer still points to the memory location of the deallocated memory.

C strings are null-terminated. That is, they are terminated by the null character, NUL . ... NUL is guaranteed to have the integer value zero. Within the string, it will also have the size of the underlying character type, which will usually be 1.

Security: By not allowing pointers, Java effectively provides another level of abstraction to the developer. No pointer support make Java more secure because they point to memory location or used for memory management that loses the security as we use them directly.

%rbp is the base pointer, which points to the base of the current stack frame, and %rsp is the stack pointer, which points to the top of the current stack frame. %rbp always has a higher value than %rsp because the stack starts at a high memory address and grows downwards.

When you use dynamic memory, you are totally responsible for it by yourself. You have to allocate it. When you forget to do it and try to access it threw your pointer, you will have plenty off negative surprises. Also you have to free the memory -- and when you forget it by any way, you will have even more surprises.

References are used to refer an existing variable in another name whereas pointers are used to store address of variable. References cannot have a null value assigned but pointer can. A reference variable can be referenced by pass by value whereas a pointer can be referenced but pass by reference.

Where in memory are my variables stored in C? ... Variables declared and defined in main function -----> heap. Pointers (for example, char *arr , int *arr ) -------> heap. Dynamically allocated space (using malloc and calloc) --------> stack.

Yes. The non-null pointers in the argv array point to C strings, which are by definition null terminated. ... Further, the array element at argv[argc] is a null pointer, so the array itself is also, in a sense, "null terminated."

nullptr is a keyword that represents zero as an address (its type is considered a pointer-type), while NULL is the value zero as an int .

You can: int&& x = 3; x is now an lvalue. A so called 'rvalue-reference' can bind to a temporary, but anything with a name is an lvalue, so you need to forward<>() it if you need it's rvalueness back.

A std::shared_ptr consists of a control block and its resource. Yes, the control block is thread-safe; but no, the access to the resource is not thread-safe. That means, modifying the reference counter is an atomic operation and you have the guarantee that the resource will be deleted exactly once.

(since C++11) std::nullptr_t is the type of the null pointer literal, nullptr. It is a distinct type that is not itself a pointer type or a pointer to member type.

Which of the following is not a valid C variable name? Explanation: Since only underscore and no other special character is allowed in a variable name, it results in an error.

C-strings are simply implemented as a char array which is terminated by a null character (aka 0 ). This last part of the definition is important: all C-strings are char arrays, but not all char arrays are c-strings. C-strings of this form are called “string literals“: const char * str = "This is a string literal.

Docker images consist of multiple layers. Dangling images are layers that have no relationship to any tagged images. They no longer serve a purpose and consume disk space. They can be located by adding the filter flag, -f with a value of dangling=true to the docker images command.

The C standard uses the identifier "nptr" in several places, every one. of them where it represents a pointer to a C string to be converted. into a numerical value.

const char *p - This is a pointer to a constant character. You cannot change the value pointed by p, but you can change the pointer p itself. ... const * char p - This is a constant pointer to non-constant character. You cannot change the pointer p, but can change the value pointed by p.
