I don't want to use malloc because it expands the EXE size by ca. 40 kB
(mingw32). Can I do the following: (in C++)

struct PACKET {
// ... some data
char P_DATA[0];
};

PACKET *p;

p = (PACKET *) new char [i + sizeof(PACKET)]; //this should work

But how to delete p?

delete p; // memory leak?
delete [] p; // does THAT work?
delete [] (char *) p //or that?
