Sorry for being a bit rude, but OP explicitly said that this is not
for those who use the names C and C++ interchangeably. :-)
The C++ programmer would do this:

float norm(const vector<float> & v);

// and then:
vector<float> v(100);
// ...
float r = norm(v);

No explicit allocation on the heap and no worry about deallocation. It
is all automatic.
