Although I'm not a fluent C++ programmer myself, I seem to remember
(from one of Bjarne's books) that the C-type built-in arrays (a[]) 
are not appreciated very much by the C++ folks due to their relative 
unsafety (no out-of-range checking done).

Why don't you use a 'bag' or some similar C++ data structure to
gather your objects ?  ;-)
