I’m running into this (short) code and I’m not sure what it exactly does;
int amount = 5
int totalAllocatedMemory = 0;
totalAllocatedMemory += amount, malloc(amount);
It seems that ‘malloc’ has no effect here!
Thanks
It does have an effect, in that it allocates memory. However, the code does look bizarre and the memory does get leaked.
