   This program shows how to dynamically allocate an object and then
   free it up later.  For comparison purposes it also creates a static
   object in the usual way.  The contents of both objects are printed.

   Tested with:
      Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
      g++ under Linux

#include "product.h"


int main(void)
   {
   Product StaticProd("Sample product (static)", 1998, 14.95);
   ProductPtrType DynamicProdPtr;

   DynamicProdPtr = new Product("Another product (dynamic)", 1997, 9.33);
   // If the new fails, a bad_alloc exception is raised.
   // Since that exception is unhandled, the program would abort.

   // Next, let's use the two objects:
   cout << "Printing the static object:" << endl;
   StaticProd.Print();
   cout << "Printing the dynamic object:" << endl;
   DynamicProdPtr->Print();
   cout << "Printing the dynamic object in another way:" << endl;
   (*DynamicProdPtr).Print();

   // Delete space used by the dynamic object -- uses the destructor:
   delete DynamicProdPtr;

   // The destructor is automatically called on the static object
   // when it goes out of scope.
   return 0;
   }
