You cant use dynamically-allocated memory after you free it?
You cant use dynamically-allocated memory after you free it?
✍: Guest
No. Some early documentation for malloc stated that the contents of freed memory were ``left undisturbed,'' but this ill-advised guarantee was never universal and is not required by the C Standard.
Few programmers would use the contents of freed memory deliberately, but it is easy to do so accidentally. Consider the following (correct) code for freeing a singly-linked list:
struct list *listp, *nextp;
for(listp = base; listp != NULL; listp = nextp) {
nextp = listp->next;
free(listp);
}
and notice what would happen if the more-obvious loop iteration expression listp = listp->next were used, without the temporary nextp pointer.
