Can I use the "new" C++ memory features?

sometimes compiler seems c++, , other times c. knows "class" , doesn't seem care variables declared (like c++), when try allocate memory dynamically:

  char *stuff = new char[10] ;

it gives me compiler error seems suggest isn't compiling c++, though file extension cpp.

is there way turn on 'new', or need allocate memory old fashioned way?

thanks!

arduino use c++ avr-gcc compiler used has restrictions related use on embedded platform.

new , delete not supported last time looked @ compiler spec, malloc , free can make own if want, see thread: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/yabb.pl?num=1230935955

with few k of ram careful allocating dynamic memory - easy run out.

have fun!
