Deep Dive: Stack vs Heap
Last updated
What is Deep Dive: Stack vs Heap?
Stack memory stores fixed-size data with automatic allocation/deallocation following LIFO order - fast but limited. Heap memory stores dynamic-size data with manual management - slower but flexible. Rust's ownership system ensures memory safety across both, with stack being default and heap accessed via smart pointers.
