Question

element* elements = new element[size.x];

This will build X elements with the default constructor. During my program, I would like to construct each element with different constructor parameters, like this:

for(int i=0; i < size.x; ++i) 
    elements[i]  = element(i);

Is there any way to prevent and needless default instanciation (that I don’t want to implement) and a needless calle to Operator= ?

Answer 1

if it doesn’t hurt your design you can use a double pointer to achieve this

element ** elements = new element * [size.x];

for(int i=0; i < size.x; ++i) 
    elements[i]  = new element(i);
