Talk:Stack-based memory allocation

Poor wording

The article says:

Another disadvantage is that the memory stored on the stack must be deallocated when the function that created it returns, so that other functions that want to make use of it beyond its lifetime must copy the data

The bug is that

• "must be deallocated" implies that there is some action on behalf of the programmer
• the function being called, not the other function, must copy the data

Maybe: Another disadvantage is that the memory stored on the stack is automatically deallocated when the function that created it returns, and thus the function must copy the data if they should be available to other parts of the program after it returns.

If nobody has objections, I will make the change at 2007-04-14.
