Dear rooters, in the root documentation and elsewhere you recommend not to allocate memory in the default constructors, to avoid memory leaks. I've followed the "Event" example in the test directory, where "control" static variables (fgTracks) are defined for the initializations, such that memory is allocated just once. Now my code has got more complicated and I need to call in the same program several times object constructors to define different objects of the same class and I need to allocate memory for each of them. I understand that it is possible to introduce as many static pointers as the number of calls (like: fgTracks1, fgTracks2, fgTracks3...) and stop allocating new memory when all the static variables have been initialized. But doing so one loses in generality: I have to know in advance how many different objects of each class I will need, whereas this number can be different case by case... Can you suggest a clever and elegant solution to this problem? At the moment I've allocated memory in the constructor and checked whether in my typical applications I've memory leaks. It doesn't seem to be the case... Thanks and best regards, Dario Motta
