You'll probably want to work with objects. There are lazy versions of constructor
calls, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">new</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">delete</span></code>
and the suite of C++ casts. Examples:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">construct</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&gt;(</span><span class="identifier">arg1</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">arg2</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="comment">// constructs a std::string from arg1, arg2
</span><span class="identifier">new_</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&gt;(</span><span class="identifier">arg1</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">arg2</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="comment">// makes a new std::string from arg1, arg2
</span><span class="identifier">delete_</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">arg1</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="comment">// deletes arg1 (assumed to be a pointer)
</span><span class="identifier">static_cast_</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">*&gt;(</span><span class="identifier">arg1</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="comment">// static_cast's arg1 to an int*
</span></pre>
