'new' is the C++ way to create object in free store.
'mallow' is the C way to allocate some memory.
That's explained by lots of books. You can even google it.
Simply put, new is OOP, while malloc is not.

You need to add malloc to your spell checker dictionary.

No, I need to work shorter days. So do you, apparently.

That's odd; I use malloc for OOP quite regularly.
Mind you, I do OOP in C quite regularly (for assorted reasons, most
of them actually reasonable), and I never use malloc when I'm actually
writing C++ code, whether I'm doing OOP or not...

My personal best estimate is that 90% of existing C code is crap (F various VO
crap), and 90% of existing NotC code is crap too. (I expect this to be true of
non-existing code as well.) --Dimitri Mazuik in the scary devil monastery

Really? Why? What's so bad about 'malloc'? It is
often _the_ function to call if you overload the
operator new...

Usually, if I find myself wanting to overload the operator new, I soon
find myself deciding that the code is better written in C than in C++
anyways.
When I choose C++ over C, the reasons usually involve things like
letting the compiler handle resource management by running constructors
and destructors without me having to write the code to do it myself,
so using malloc instead of new kind of defeats the purpose.
(This probably has at least as much to do with the type of code I write
as with the characteristics of the two languages.)

Hi,
using malloc following things are not possible,
-- calling constructor after allocating memory(new calls
constructor as well)
-- Type safety: (new returns a pointer of the right type)
-- Overridability: (new is an operator that can be overridden)
Thanks,
Basavaraj Kirunge
You though you are doing quite well, but you are not. As Mr. Kirunge said,
malloc can't do many things, it just alloc a memory space. Of course you can
implement new by malloc, and in fact that's the way it goes.
I suggest you to google it instead of asking here. I read a lot on this and
it's hard to put them all here.

I want to know the difference between char a and char *p=new
char and the difference between the heap and the stack ,and if the
char a is corresponding to the stack in MEMORY,and char *p=new

Hi All,
What is the difference between malloc and calloc other than the
point that calloc will initialize the memory to all zeros? This was an
interview question for me. All the books and references that I have
come across tells that calloc initialize the memory to all zeros. In
Herbert Shiltd's C/C++ reference I found that calloc returns a pointer
to an array. I want to understand in what way the memory returned by
malloc and calloc...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
