C++: allocate block of T without calling constructor

Question

I don\'t want constructor called. I am using placement new.

I just want to allocate a block of T.

My standard approach is:

T* data = malloc(sizeo         


        

Answer 1

T* data = reinterpret_cast(operator new(sizeof(T) * num));

Or just use std::vector and don't worry about these low-level memory details ;)
