In the seventies and eighties we had still many simple flats with low monthly rents in Berlin. Those monthly rents in fact might have been as low as whats was equivalent to $40 (a month!) in 1979. I once ordered a paper copy of ANSI C and it surely cost much more than the monthly rent of such a flat. A simple Berlin flat of those days might not have had a rest room. Rather there was a single rest room somewhere in or near the house that was shared by several rental parties. And the heating was done by a coal oven. Given that German universities usually have no tuition fees, it was possible, in those days, to study with a rather low income when living in such a flat. |

There is technically nothing wrong with using malloc instead of new, as long as you also construct the object in the memory afterwords. It is very non-idiomatic though. One way to see this is that, by definition, new Type is defined as calling operator new and then the constructor, and operator new is typically implemented as a call to malloc, followed by a test for null and a throw (this isn't required, but typical, malloc can NOT call operator new though, so a user provide operator new is allowed to call malloc) |
