Should this C pointer be released?

c, memory

Solution

No, you didn't `malloc` it. Why should you release it?

Often, the string is placed in a read only section of the executable.

Problem

Please excuse my C newbiness. Consider the following C procedure: ``` int doSomething() { char *numbers="123456"; ... } ``` Before this procedure exits should I be releasing the 'numbers' pointer?
