The short answer to both these questions is: No, never, ever, ever, ever mix calls to new/delete and malloc/free.

The long answer is that, unlike malloc and free, new and delete don't allocate and release memory, they create and destroy objects. If you try and free an object created by new the destructor for the object won't be called, if you malloc a block of memory the constructor for whatever type you assign the pointer to won't be called.

Cheers,

Ash

PS: In case I haven't said it strongly enough, don't do it. Really. Future generations of maintenance programmers will curse your name if you try it.
