C dynamic memory allocation
C dynamic memory allocation refers to performing manual memory management for dynamic memory allocation in the C programming language via a group of functions in the C standard library, namely malloc, realloc, calloc and free.
The C++ programming language includes these functions for compatibility with C; however, the operators new and delete provide similar functionality and are recommended by that language's authors.
Many different implementations of the actual memory allocation mechanism, used by malloc, are available. Their performance varies in both execution time and required memory.
Rationale
The C programming language manages memory statically, automatically, or dynamically. Static-duration variables are allocated in main memory, usually along with the executable code of the program, and persist for the lifetime of the program; automatic-duration variables are allocated on the stack and come and go as functions are called and return. For static-duration and automatic-duration variables, the size of the allocation must be compile-time constant (except in C99, which allowed variable-length automatic arrays). If the required size is not known until run-time (for example, if data of arbitrary size is being read from the user or from a disk file), then using fixed-size data objects is inadequate.

Familiar Feeling
Artist : Moloko
Album : Statues
Title : Familiar Feeling
Nothing can come close
Nothing can come close
Nothing can come close
I never doubted it
What's for you will not pass you by
I never questioned it
It was decided before I asked why
It's all there ever was
And it's all there ever will be
How could you have questioned us?
It's yourself you deceive
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Hush now
No need to say the words
At first sight you perfectly heard
Love in all its entirety
Is no less than we deserve
I saw, your face
Some place
I felt this feeling before
Is it deja vu?
Do I somehow know you?
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
Nothing can come close
(Ever speaking)
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
Nothing can come close
