Is there a way to statically-initialize a dynamically-allocated array in C++?

Question

In C++, I can statically initialize an array, e.g.:

int a[] = { 1, 2, 3 };

Is there an easy way to initialize a dynamically-allocated array

Answer 1

You have to assign each element of the dynamic array explicitly (e.g. in a for or while loop)

However the syntax int *p = new int [3](); does initialize all elements to 0 (value initialization $8.5/5)
