I would rather not dynamically allocate that particular array because the Cocoa application I am developing is simply a wrapper for a cross platform C++ project. This particular project has to manage a number of different resources, including an SQLite database connection, an open file, and a serial port device. In order to keep error handling as simple as possible, I have made heavy use of the RIAA pattern. If a serial port error occurs, for example, an exception gets thrown. As a result, the objects representing both the database and the open file go out of scope, and their resources are released.
It's not hard to write a wrapper object for the malloc() block that calls free() when destructed. That would work just like your database wrapper object and your file wrapper object.
