dynamically expanding an array in c++
 

Hey,
I've got this pointer that I want to point to an array of pointers of length X. This array may get full so I may want to create a new one of length 2 * X and copy all the stuff from the original one into this new one. I'm doing this in C++ and whenever I declare the array...
void* asdf[ X ];
I get an error complaining that X isn't constant. So, I've been trying to work the "const" in there but I still can't get through this one. Thanks,
mj

Have you tried looking at vectors? I don't know how common they are in C++ or if there are better alternatives, but it holds a resize() function that seems to do all the work for you.

Look at http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/Cpp/cpp_...cle.php/c4027/

you need to use "new"

Re: dynamically expanding an array in c++
 

void** asdf= new *void[x];

or you can write in c and compile with gcc which allows non-constant array declarations.
