title: What is a “memory stomp”?
body: <p>I just came <a href="http://simpleprogrammer.com/2012/12/01/why-c-is-not-back/" rel="noreferrer">across this blog post</a> which mentions “stomping memory”:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>a C++ program which is easily capable of stomping memory
        (something you probably have never even heard of if you were
        born in a managed code world.)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And in fact I have never heard of it!</p>
  
  <p>So, what is this, a memory stomp, stomping memory? When does it occur?</p>
