Re: realloc equivalent in C++

Can't find this even in C++ books which talk about memory management specifically. Thanks. Honbo Nothing prevents you from using 'realloc' in C++ to allocate _raw-memory_. However you shouldn't mix the 'malloc/free/realloc/...' with the 'new/ new[]/delete/delete[]/...' families. The former are intended the maintain raw-memory while the latter manage the lifetime of objects. C++ has no direct support to reallocate an array of objects. Enno -- Enno
