Thread: C memory allocation to c++

Hi,

I would like to convert my c style memory allocation (calloc) to c++ style (new and delete). The way I am doing it at the moment in c is as follows:

Code:

char** seq_array;
seq_array = (char **)calloc( (nseqs) * sizeof (char *), sizeof(char) );

for(int i=0; i < nseqs; i++)
seq_array[i] = (char *)calloc((length) * sizeof (char), sizeof(char));

This is to generate an array of size nseqs*length. I would like to change this to the c++ way of allocating memory. Would it be something like the following:

Code:

seq_array = char**[nseqs][length];

And what about freeing up the memory?

Thanks for your help
Mark
