Why is memory allocation on heap MUCH slower than on stack?
问题 I have been told this many times. But I don't know WHY...What extra cost is involved when allocating memory from heap? Is it hardware related? Is it related to CPU cycles? So many guesses but no exact answers...Could someone give me some elaboration? Just as "unwind" said, the Heap data structure is more complicated than Stack. And In my opinion, some memory space is allocated to a thread as its Stack when it starts to run, while the heap is shared by all the threads within a process. This
