What are some situations where it is not recommended to use malloc, calloc, realloc, or free in C/C++?

Dynamic memory allocation functions (malloc, calloc, realloc, free) provide flexibility but can lead to memory leaks if misused. When should developers prefer stack memory or smart pointers instead?
