pointer to an array in a structure

[samual_van]

Hi Guys!
I need some guidance. How do I allocate a dynamic array in a structure? I am doing something like this

struct strArray {
	int size;
	int position;
	int *byteArray;
};

And then initializing array like this

int i = 32;

strArray *source;
strArray src;
source = & src;

source->byteArray = new int[i];

But when I used boundschecker to detect memory leaks (the program compiles and runs fine) I get a memory leak statement on

source->byteArray = new int[i];

I am assuming I am doing something wrong here, because i then assign values to this array like

source->byteArray[0] = 30;

Again, any help and any comments on my style etc will be greatly appreciated as I am just starting out in this.

Thanks in advance

I have searched online and any link on a thread or online reference that will answer my question will also be helpful.

Well until you do
delete [] source->byteArray;
Boundschecker will think it is still in use, and if you've exited the program then that's a memory leak.

yup, that works!! thanks Salem! I sometimes think there are no bounds to human (my) stupidity But I console myself saying that i feel same way when I am starting out on new stuff and ask questions to experts. Thanks again!
