Sorry - yes I am using C++. So I will not worry about freeing the
memory.

Thanks for the very quick reply.

In C++ it typically uses the std::vector<T> class for allocation of the
memory and yes in C++ when the variable goes out of scope it will be
deleted. However, in C you can't use OCTAVE_LOCAL_BUFFER. Do you mean
you are using C++ and not C?
