Your code is buggy.  This is the result of compiling
with the Comeau C++ compiler:

"11912.c", line 4: error: a value of type "int *" cannot be assigned to an
          entity of type "int **"
                 p=new (int*)[10];   // (2)
                  ^

"11912.c", line 5: error: a value of type "int *" cannot be assigned to an
          entity of type "int **"
                 p=(new (int*))[10]; // (3)
                  ^

"11912.c", line 2: warning: variable "p" was set but never used
                 int** p;
