[PD-dev] how to dinamically allocate t_atom & t_float size?

[Christof Ressi]

Off topic.

Since C++11, using raw "new" is a code smell, because it easily causes 
problems as the one below. Instead use smart pointers, which will 
automatically free the memory once they go out of scope:

auto at = std::unique_ptr<t_atom[]>(new t_atom[c]);

Or even better, but requires C++14:

auto at = std::make_unique<t_atom[]>(ac);

In both cases, note the square brackets!
