Good question! You must be doing some embedded programming if you're worried about this. What you are looking for is a memory pool. The details are more than I can get into here but the basic idea is that you allocate a block of memory (usually the size of the heap so any other allocations fail) and then assign blocks of memory to the pool. Usually implementations include FIFO block allocation or a lifetime allocation with semaphore access.

In all languages dynamic memory is allocated to the heap. In C any allocated memory must be manually deallocated. In C++ well designed code should deallocate memory when allocated memory falls out-of-scope (see RAII and smart pointers). In C# and Java nearly everything is allocated to the heap and the virtual machine's garbage collector deallocates unused heap space in blocks.
