...allocate an array of RECTs for DX? The code I use looks like this:

RECT *mSpriteSourceRects;
...
mSpriteSourceRects = (RECT *)malloc(frames *(sizeof(RECT)));
  

is this correct? It doesnt seem to work logically in my program(but it will compile ok). Please shed some light on this, thanks Edited by - shdaga on August 15, 2001 9:27:24 PM

Ah poop, never mind! I figured it out.

If you''re using C++ (and who isn''t? I havenm''t seen a genuine C only compiler for a while) you should prefer new to malloc.

Then you get:

RECT *mSpriteSourceRects;mSpriteSourceRects = new RECT[frames];

which is much more readable, I find.

The only catch is making sure you call delete[] instead of delete but that''s pretty easy to figure out.

would the delete for that look like...

delete [] mSpriteSourceRects;
