When a variable is deallocated, the key of its pointer is modified to hold a value different from the variable's cell.
Isn’t that a typo, either in the article or in the source (which I don’t plan to buy)? It doesn’t seem to be any different from storing NULL in the pointer: if you have multiple pointers, you may still have some with the old key value. But changing the lock instead would be different, in that all pointers would be effectively marked as invalid, without actual modification. GoldDragon256 (talk) 10:40, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Locks-and-keys → Locks-and-keys (computing) – Retarget to "Locks-and-keys" to Lock and key as the primary topic. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:09, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support the computing meaning has 54 views but the mechanical meaning has 4,470 and I don't think the hyphens distingish per WP:SMALLDETAILS though I'd note that Lock-and-key doesn't exist. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose as unnecessary WP:OVERPRECISION. These are two different titles. It's highly unlikely anyone will be searching for the other article by typing "locks-and-keys", but in that unlikely event, I've added a hatnote to this article (better than adding a hatnote to much more widely read lock and key pointing here).

- No hatnote would need to be added to Lock and key because there's already a disambiguation page Lock and Key which already lists this page. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:42, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- That would be true if the proposal was to retarget locks-and-keys to the Lock and Key dab page, but if it retargets lock and key as proposed, that article should technically have a "redirects here" hatnote because locks-and-keys is never singular, to the best of my knowledge. Though it could be combined with the existing Car Keys redirect hatnote. Station1 (talk) 03:26, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

- Support, term is too similar to lock and key. JIP | Talk 06:37, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
