Fields of class, are they stored in the stack or heap?
- by Mirek
I saw a question yesterday which raised (for me) another question. Please look at the following code:
public class Class1
{
int A; //as I uderstand, int is value type and therefore lives in the stack
}
class Class2
{
Run()
{
Class1 instance1 = new Class1();
instance1.A = 10; //it points to value type, but isnt this reference (on heap)?
}
}
Or while creating the instance of Class1, its field types are created on the heap as well? But then I do not understand when it would really be on the stack as almost always you need to create an instance of object in order to use it fields.
