A(int sz) { sz_ = sz; v = new B[sz_]; }

~A() { delete v; }

Surely if the allocation of v fails, the destructor will delete some wrong memory pointed at by an unintialised v?

The pain of not using initialiser lists?

No. If the allocation fails, it throws an exception, and the destructor isn't called.

I thought 'excellent' ... then saw [scribd] and thought 'meh'.
