I don't have the code anymore but there are a few things you need to watch out for.

1) malloc passed back a NULL pointer. You need to cast this pointer to whatever you want.

2) for string, need to allocate an extra byte for the end character.

3) double pointers.

4) (delete and malloc) and (free and new) don't go together

1) malloc passed back a VOID pointer. You need to cast this pointer to whatever you want.

Also check for the return value of Malloc. If it's null, you're out of memory.
