How do I allocate / unallocate an array of things?
Use new[] and delete[]: Thing* p = new Thing[100]; //… delete [] p; //older compilers require you to use “delete[100]p” Any time you allocate an array of things (ie: any time you use the “[…]” in the “new” expression) you *!*MUST*!* use the “[]” in the “delete” statement. The fact that there is no syntactic difference between a ptr to a thing and a ptr to an array of things is an artifact we inherited from C.
