hi there,

in chapter 7 (Data management):
the author talks about dynamic memory allocation in C using the stander C library function malloc(),

he says in page 260 that:

now according to my knowledge malloc() allocate memory on the heap not the stack

I think every thing is okey, when you use malloc() function, you allocate memory on the heap. But also the stack size may be exceeded. Because the stack is used to dynamically allocate the local variables used in functions so it may be exceeded. Nothing wrong, I don't think you can find any error in understanding the content of the book by probability 0 %.

Good observation, and the authors should have replied by now for such an important issue!
