Hello,
I am trying to understand how the free list linked-list evolves when an int
object is deallocated.
At the beginning, free_list is pointing to the last int object (n-1) in the
block. We initialize two int objects, free_list now points to the int object:
n-3.
free_list -> n-3
n-1 -> n-2
n-2 -> n-3
n-3 -> n-4...
We delete the first int object initialized:
n-1 -> n-3
free_list -> n-1
It seems to me that two elements are now pointing to the n-3 element: n-1 and
n-2. I am pretty sure I am missing something here. Can someone let me know?
Thanks,
Laurent
