[Structure] Add memory manipulation
Description
This issue is for adding a new structure for all languages that will let you compare a new aspect of a language. Ideally someone with many programming languages will help work on this.
This structure should show how to deal with memory within a programming language. This could include:
- Commands to allocate chunks of memory
- Commands to delete chunks of memory
- Are you able to request more memory for an existing memory chunk?
- How to create pointers or references
- How to access or write to items pointers point at
- Whether pointers will self-destruct when the last usage of it is gone
- How to trigger a garbage collection
Or other things. It should take some thought on all of the features that any programming language could have. Upon making this PR, expect it to have some revisions as people from various programming language backgrounds offer suggestions.
Requirements
- Look over the documentation at https://docs.codethesaur.us/thesaurus/add-new-structure/
