questions about dynamic allocations

I have a pointer to point to data array.

I have a for loop. And I need to define different array size in the for
loop.

for example:

iter=4;
float **xp;

for(int i=0; i<4; i++){

xs1=(int)(floor(xdim/(iter-i)));
ys1=(int)(floor(ydim/(iter-i)));

xp=new float *[xs1];
for(j=0; j<xs1; j++){
xp[j]=new float[ys1];
}

//implementations
}

My question is where should I delete the pointer, inside of the for loop or
outside of the for loop.

If outside of the for loop, what happend to those allocated memory at each
for loop.

Thanks!


Luke

You obviously want comp.lang.c++, down the hall, 2nd door on the
right, but watch out for the wet paint on the door knob.

for(j=0; j<xs1; j++){
xp[j]=new float[ys1];
}

//implementations

You delete your pointers only after you are done using the memory they
point to.

for loop.

Nothing. Allocated memory remains allocated until you deallocate it.

Thanks!
