Re: [PD-dev] how to dinamically allocate t_atom & t_float size?

Off topic.

Since C++11, using raw "new" is a code smell, because it easily causes problems as the one below. Instead use smart pointers, which will automatically free the memory once they go out of scope:

auto at = std::unique_ptr<t_atom[]>(new t_atom[c]);

Or even better, but requires C++14:

auto at = std::make_unique<t_atom[]>(ac);

In both cases, note the square brackets!

if you want to do it the C++ way without a std::vector<t_atom>

t_atom* at = new t_atom[ac];

but again you will have to

delete at;

This should be delete[] at;
