While we are here, does anyone have a good resource about memory management strategies in C?

Topics:

* Best practices for C function signatures (caller allocates (which size?), callee allocates (where? which allocator?))

* Memory Ownership Models

* Borrowing

* Reference Counting

* Garbage Collectors and C-Libraries providing this functionality

* Interning Objects (Strings)

* RAII [1]? And it's benefits/flaws

Context: I feel that understanding the C memory primitives in not that hard (stack variables, malloc/free, C++'s new). But how to use them is devilishly tricky. I have seen little information about this.
