But most of the code in the C one is not related to either. All the size computation, etc… still needs to be done somewhere. While I agree that RAII is by itself a very useful feature, it is not that used in your example. IMO, all you are doing is comparing decent C++ to awful C. That's not very interesting to me. cheers, David _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
