It is in a function to allocate enough memory for a buffer in a call to
RegQueryValueEx.  I am asking for a way to allocate a buffer of type *void
from the heap.  I know I can use either keyword "new" or the GlobalAlloc
function.  But I don't know how to do it using "new".  Later I cast pBuffer
to char = (char*)pBuffer.

Here is more code for context:

    unsigned long dwSize = 0;
    void *pBuffer = NULL;

    if( RegQueryValueEx(CurrentKey, Ident.c_str(),
                NULL, NULL, NULL, &dwSize) == ERROR_SUCCESS )
    {
              pBuffer = GlobalAlloc(GPTR, dwSize);
              if( pBuffer ){
                    //Do stuff
              }
     }

Thanks -M-
