Machine : c++ on vax/750 running BSD 4.2 a Bug ? We have encountered a problem with allocating storage for arrays of classes. Looking at the generated c code it seems that 'new' forgets to cast '_vec_new()'. Has anyone else had similar problems ? The following code illustrates the problem - which goes away by compiling with -DBUGFIX. Also complex.h does not have a default constructor - so arrays of complex numbers cant be defined at all - this of course can be fixed by providing a default constructor in complex.h.
