Chapter 7

1. new() allocates a single object, while new() allocates an array of objects.
2. No.
3. Global memory is visible to the entire program, while static memory (defined globally) is only visible to the source file in which it is defined.
4. By leveraging an alias with the alignas() function, such as using aligned_int alignas(0x1000) = int;.

5. Not in C++17 and below
6. std::shared_ptr should only be used if more than one object must own the memory (that is, the memory needs to be able to be released by more than one object in any order and at any time).
7. Yes (depending on the operating system and permissions).
8. If you allocate 4 bytes and use 3, you have created internal fragmentation (wasted memory). If you allocate memory in such a way that the allocator no longer has contiguous blocks of memory to give out (even if it has a lot of free memory), you have created external fragmentation...
