    Question dynamic arrays and memory

    I have three simple questions.
    Is the memory used by a dynamic array lost forever if you never deallocate it?
    what about after the program ends?
    what about after the computer is restarted?

    Re: dynamic arrays and memory

    These days OSes are smart enough to release all the memory used by a process when it ends, regardless of whether the process freed it or not. With the possible exception of shared memory....I'm not sure about that.
