Thanks Lawrence,


Your solution works. Why adding an additional () will not compile?

Hello everyone,


What is wrong with the code, I just want to allocate an array of 100 void*
pointers. :-)

[Code]
int main()
{
void** p;

p = new (void*) [100];

return 0;
}
[/Code]

Hi George,

The brackets are giving you the problem. Try this instead:

void **p;

p = new void *[100];

HTH, Loz.
