as long as 1) all variables allocated with new are freed once and only once with delete; 2) all varables allocated with new [] are freed once and only once with delete []; 3) you don't shoot yourself in the foot with copy-ctors or assignment operators that do not handle correctly pointers allocated with new or new []; 4) there is nothing corrupting the arena like you writing in the wrong address (array index out of range etc.) --- the use of new should be safe and do not cause any segmentation fault. -- Maurizio Loreti http://www.pd.infn.it/~loreti/mlo.html Dept. of Physics, Univ. of Padova, Italy ROT13: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
