Thread: A pointer to an array of object pointers, which point to objects

Hi, say i have got the following class called X. I want to be able to create a pointer to an array of type X pointers, which then be instantiated into objects. I have tried the follwing, but with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Code:

int NumObjs = 2;

X **Test;

*Test = new X[NumObjs];

for(int ObjNum; ObjNum < NumObjs; ObjNum++)
  Test[ObjNum] = new X(/*Whatever*/);

I need to be able to access the objects using the following notation: Test[0]->Member; Thanks.

First you allocate NumObj X *'s, then loop through those pointers and allocate real X's :-)

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class X {
public:
  int stuff;
};

namespace {
  const int NumObj = 2;
}

int main()
{
  X **test;

  test = new X *[NumObj];

  for (int i = 0; i < NumObj; i++)
  {
    test[i] = new X;
  }

  // Use and delete
}
/*
test->[0]->X Obj
      [1]->X Obj
*/

Cela, you are fantastic, wonderful, amazing, and everything else. You don't know what a headache i've had with that. Again, thank you so much yet again! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
