Hey, I was wondering if anyone who has experience with C could recommend a "good" memory management tutorial?

I have found a few, but since I am still learning and don't have a book to refer to, I cannot tell if the tutorial is accurate and up-to-date.

Oh, and I changed my avatar? Any opinions? Good or bad?

Well, I guess whatever kind of memory management that is associated with preventing buffer overflows when gathering user input. This may be to broad of a description of what I am looking ?

There are a number of good things online if you are willing to hunt through google. As you go along with it, there are some good libs out there for dealing with this kind of thing (memory management).

Cheers,

and there's always the STL having advantages and drawbacks of its own... http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/ and many more at http://www.google.de/search?&q=stl

another widely used library is glib (not the same as glibc)

And there are libraries that will help you to find faulty memory access such as efence

But when it comes to tutorials on this topic ...sorry, no idea :(
