Re: [Dev-C++] malloc and free

firstly, thanx Daniel and Oroszi for the descriptive
replyies. I have always thought free(ptr) would put
ptr to NULL.

I have typed that bit of code and found that it is a
segementation fault(in Win2000)! 
My explanation would be that u r trying to access what
is not meant for or what u said u would not access.
i.e the said memory location has neither been
allocated by new or malloc, nor has been declared
anywhere in the code.
