An example of how string literals persist in stack memory. This is NOT how you do dynamic strings!

bad_string_literals.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void) {
  char* full_name = "Jesse Lawson";
  char* ptr = full_name;
  printf("newptr: %p\n", ptr);
  full_name = "Jesse Happy Bubble Fun Club Lawson";
  ptr = full_name; 
  printf("newptr: %p\n", ptr);
  full_name = "But what happens when we continue to override the value?";
  ptr = full_name; 
  printf("newptr: %p\n", ptr);
  full_name = "The answer: new blocks of memory continue to be allocated during compile time";
  ptr = full_name; 
  printf("newptr: %p\n", ptr);
  full_name = "and you have address space in memory taken up by these string literals.";
  ptr = full_name; 
  printf("newptr: %p\n", ptr);
  
  return 0;
}
