[vtkusers] syntax question

Wed Jun 9 03:26:28 EDT 2004

Hi AJ,

Your code is correct.

Just for information, I saw somewhere in a newsgroup that using parenthesis
with new is illegal.
Gcc accept it but VC++ 6, for instance, doesn't.

You should write 
  vtkBclass **Stuff = new vtkBclass * [20];
instead of
  vtkBclass **Stuff = new (vtkBclass *)[20];

Thanks again,
