  And this information is based on what? Can you give me a reference?

  Perhaps you should actually read some documentation on how memory
management works in C-based operating systems (such as windows and unix).
Especially you should read about the concept of the heap (also knowing
what is the stack also helps).

  And by the way, in English when you use the third person singular it's
"doesn't", not "don't".
