Well, no. There are better memory management systems for C than
relying on malloc, such as garbage collection systems, and the time
spent making sure you've tracked down every malloc'd block and free'd
it can be otherwise spent improving your code. Personally, I like
Perl's memory management, since I have no idea how it operates and
IMHO that's pretty much the way memory management should be - unless,
of course, you're coding for a highly restrictive environment, I
guess.
Cheers,
Waider.
