delete multidimensional arrays

Question

In C++ FAQ, the [16.16] gives the following example,

void manipulateArray(unsigned nrows, unsigned ncols[])
{
   typedef Fred* FredPtr;
   FredPtr* matrix = new          


        

Answer 1

yes, that is not a quality of an example-code but it is working fine. The copy-pasted code in the catch-block and after the catch-block is needed because in case of an exception the memory should be freed and in this case the exception is forwarded to the caller of that function. if you dont want to forward that exception you can delete the code inside the catch-block (but at least a console-output would be nice ;) )
