The following code creates an object on the stack:

Object o;

When creating an object on the heap we can use:

Object* o;

o = new Object();

rather than:

Object* o = new Object();

When we split the heap object-creation over two lines and call the constructor on the second line (o = new object()), does this mean in the first line (Object* o) the pointer was created on the stack? So Object o puts the object on the stack, whereas Object* o puts the pointer to a future object on the stack?

My second question involves if the two lines of code were called outside of a class. I recently read (Global memory management in C in stack or heap?) that global variables are not contained on the stack/heap but actually another part of memory? If this is the case, would Object* o create a pointer which would sit in this other part of the memory and it points to the heap object?
