- The lack of response on this issue has prompted me to supply more information.
-
- We have an application that is running out of heap and stack space. We are
- trying to figure out if the above declarations store the literal strings in
- the same place, and if that is the case, we will not bother changing the way
- we declare these strings. If anyone has any suggestions on moving memory
- around so that heap and stack are not compromised, then please let me know.
-
- The current environment is Borland C++ on PC's. We can also use Microsoft C++
- 7.0.
-
- Thanks in advance.
