The other way around actually. The reasoning behind all this is of course
the usual reason why people have memory leaks: they forget to deallocate
objects that they've created. With stack created objects, they're released
back to the memory once it's out of scope -- automatically. With heap
objects, they're never released until its deleted.

Yep. Most of them have two serial ports, one of which is switchable to
RS485. As for watchdogs, take a look at the kernel drivers to see if its
supported.
