    No problem. BTW, explicit memory management is both very powerful, and
very prone to making "silly" mistakes (which I don't think are silly at
all). Consequently, perhaps you might want to read Peter Koch Larsen's
response (with which I completely agree).

    Specifically, you could write your code this way:

#include <vector>

std::vector<Object> obs[9];

for(int i = 0; i < 9; ++i)
    obs[i] = Object(i);

    Or if Object doesn't have a default constructor,

#include <vector>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>

std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<Object> > obs(9);

for(int i = 0; i < 9; ++i)
    obs[i].reset(new Object(i));

(You could google for boost smart_ptr for the above).
