#pragma exit (or #pragma _anything_) is non-portable.

  When you're programming in C, deallocate all malloc()'d memory with 
the "regular" Standard Library function free().
  In C++, use the "regular" keyword delete to destroy all objects you 
allocate with new.

  *Never* mix new and malloc(), or delete and free(), in the same 
program.  They are *not* guaranteed to cooperate, and since they belong 
to two different languages there's no reason that they should.
