I'm curious as to what makes you say this. It's probably true that most C++ programs do make extensive use of dynamic memory, but then, it's probably ture that most C programs also make extensive use of dynamic memory. It's also true that the standard IO libraries in *both* languages normally use dynamic memory. The containers in C++ do use dynamic memory extensively -- in a real time environment, you can either avoid them completely, or initialize them in such a way that all allocations occur on start-up. Typically, in an environment where there are no restrictions on using dynamic memory, a C++ programmer will use it more freely than a C programmer, because destructors make it easier to manage. But making dynamic memory easier to manage is a far cry from relying on dynamic memory. -- James Kanze GABI Software, S�rl Conseils en informatique orient� objet -- -- Beratung in industrieller Datenverarbeitung mailto: kanze@gabi-soft.fr mailto: James.Kanze@dresdner-bank.com
