    C++ Features in C Tutorial

    Seeing as I'm a newbie (the reason I'm reading the tutorial), I could be wrong, but I think Lesson 9 in the C tutorial uses C++-only features (new and delete) in its 4th and 5th code examples. My compiler (gcc) gives an error about 'new' being an undeclared identifier when I use the keyword as demonstrated in that lesson, and the FAQ labels both keywords "(C++)."

    Thanks!

    Youre right they are C++ features. In c you use generally use malloc() and free() from stdlib.h instead. IIRC theres and article in the FAQ about how to use them.

    My purpose in posting (which I obviously forgot to mention) was that the error be corrected. But thanks for mentioning the alternatives.

    Well I think the rest of the site has become a bit of a derelict wasteland. After all we still have links for farmsex floating around. Even tho I pointed it out over a year ago.
