In C++ I\'ve got constructors and destructors, I\'ve got the

One way I "hide" the memory allocation and de-allocation is to pass it off to custom containers. Pass the container an un-malloced object. Let it worry about malloc and when I remove the object let it worry about the free. Of course this only works if you are only storing an object in one container. If I have object references all over the place I will create the equivalent of constructor and destructor methods with c syntax:

 glob* newGlob(); 
 void freeGlob(glob* g);

(by object I mean anything you would point to - not c++ objects).
