Thread: No one has been able to answer this yet!!

Hi, I haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer yet!, but what would this code do?

Code:

void main()
{
    int a;

    a = foo();

    printf("%d",a);

}


int foo()
{

   int *p;
   
   p = malloc(1*sizeof(int));

   *p = 5;

   return (*p);

}

So I guess the idea is , what happens to "p" at the termination of the function call? since its a stack variable, it gets popped, but the malloc'd memory is on the heap, which still persists, I think? and since you're returning the dereferenced variable, it should be good, right?
