// loads a file into memory
void load_file()
{
char *data = "This is so data";
printf("function: %s\n", data);
}
Will the above code leak memory? Do I have call free(data)? Why or why not?
It cannot leak because you did not dynamically allocate it.
datais a string literal and not a dynamically allocated array of characters.
