If you’re familiar with how C-like languages use stack allocation, this chapter will be a refresher. If you’re not, you’ll learn about this more general concept, but with a Rust-y focus. +As with most things, when learning about them, we’ll use a simplified model to +start. This lets you get a handle on the basics, without getting bogged down +with details which are, for now, irrelevant. The examples we’ll use aren’t 100% +accurate, but are representative for the level we’re trying to learn at right +now. Once you have the basics down, learning more about how allocators are +implemented, virtual memory, and other advanced topics will reveal the leaks in +this particular abstraction. + # Memory management These two terms are about memory management.
