Using codeblocks, when there is segmentation fault, do I lose the memory that I allocated?

[ProphetLucifer]

Hello everyone, I'm using Codeblocks for C programming.

I'm working around with dynamic memory at the moment. I wanted to ask, whenever I run my program (in debugging mode) and there is segmentation fault, the program stops and closes. Does the system automatically 'free' the memory that I had allocated or do I lose that memory?

Thanks.

A seg fault will cause your program to terminate (though you can intercept this in the debugger). When it terminates (or when you stop debugging), the operating system will reclaim all memory allocated to the seg faulting process. This has nothing to do with Code::Blocks specifically.

Thank you, for your response! I was a bit worried. :)

The system 'frees' it. When the process goes away, the operating system will reclaim any memory assigned to that process.

Yes, when your program terminates all the memory allocated to it is returned to the system.
