Re: is there a cleaner way to new a static sized array?

I need a function that works like the following:

T* New(T)() { return new T; }

But that also works with static arrays:

auto i = New!(int)();
auto a = New!(int[27])();

The cleanest solution I can think of is:

T* New(T)() { return (new T[1]).ptr; }

but that seems ugly. Any ideas?

The example you listed is the best way.

As it happes, it dosn't work as shown:

auto o = New!(Object)(); // oops, typeof(o) == Object*

I'm sorry.
