What is a dangling pointer?

  Shared By: Adah Miller    Date: Jan 25    Category: C++ Programming    Views: 88

Answer:

A dangling pointer arises when you use the address of an object after its lifetime is over.
This may occur in situations like returning addresses of the automatic variables from a function or using the address of the memory block after it is freed.
