Global memory management in C++ in stack or heap?
c++, memory-management, stack
Solution
Since I wasn't satisfied with the answers, and hope that the sameer karjatkar wants to learn more than just a simple yes/no answer, here you go.
Typically a process has 5 different areas of memory allocated
- Code - text segment
- Initialized data – data segment
- Uninitialized data – bss segment
- Heap
- Stack
If you really want to learn what is saved where then read and bookmark these:

Problem
If I declare a data structure globally in a C++ application , does it consume stack memory or heap memory ? For eg ``` struct AAA { .../.../. ../../.. }arr[59652323]; ```
