Can a C++ class determine whether it's on the stack or heap?

Question

I have

class Foo {
....
}

Is there a way for Foo to be able to separate out:

function blah() {
  Foo foo; // on the stack
         


        

Answer 1

I would recommend using smart pointers instead. By design, the class should have data and information about class. Book-keeping tasks should be delegated outside the class.

overloading new and delete can lead to more holes than you can imagine.
