Thread: Realloc with new and delete

Ok after doing a search it appears there is no direct c++ equivlent to realloc. What I want to know is if it is safe to use realloc with new and delete. The type will be char (I'm just getting a chuck of memory) and constructors/destructors do not need to be invoked.

The generic awnser is no.
You can simulate realloc() using new and delete and memcpy(). If you need the efficiency of realloc() then use malloc() and free() for your char array.

Kinda thought so.
