Hi,
because my last question about delete / delete[] caused big discusion with
meany diffrent opinions, I wan't to check, if finaly I understand it...
(probably not ;)
1) "s" is a pointer to array, maked like:  myclass* s = new myclass[100];
   a)  delete []s    will not only free memory, but alsow call destructor
for each of 100 objects "myclass"
   b) using delete s;  is probably wrong, because none destructor will be
called. But all memory 100*sizeof(myclass) will be freed ?
2) with   char *s = new char[100]  I can use :
  a) delete []s;  but it isn't necessarly, when char doesn't have any
destructor
  b) delete s;  is good
3) and what with   char* s = malloc(sizeof(char)*100); ?
   a) free - typical
   b) can I use delete ?
   c) can I use delete [] ?
4) because strdup() uses malloc,   char *s=strdup(S); should be "deleted"
same way as in question 3

Many Thanks,
Rafal
