Question regarding memory allocation in classes
Hi all.
I know that local variables are declared in the stack and static, global and variables allocated with new are allocated on the heap.
But where are allocated the members of this class for example :
class Dog {
int a;
int *b;
}
if it's created on the stack with Dog myDog; ? Where will be located a and where will be located b ?
And where will they be located, if the instance is created on the heap with new, i.e. Dog *myDog = new Dog();
Thank you

A class is simply a collection of its members. So wherever the class is allocated, that's where its members are allocated.
If you put
If you put
Dog myDog; on the stack, then myDog's members are on the stack. If you put it on the heap with new, then its members are on the heap.
