Basically the same thing in C++:

If you wanted it as an array:

#include <vector>
std::vector<char> data1(1000), data2(1000), data3(1000);

Or, if you're allocating for an object,

#include <memory>
std::auto_ptr<whatever> data1(new whatever);
std::auto_ptr<whatever> data2(new whatever);
std::auto_ptr<whatever> data3(new whatever);

And that's it.  C++'s (default) new throws on failure instead of
returning 0, and the destructors make sure everything that's been
constructed gets destructed properly.

Why bother with void* and C?
