#
# Checks : Pointer to arrays as members of a C class.
#
# Reason : In C classes, there is no need to use pointers to arrays 
# as data members. Instead, use the arrays themselves. Using 
# pointers leads to obscure notation like \"(*array)[n]\" for the 
# more usual \"array[n]\". It also makes it necessary to explicitly 
# delete the arrays in the destructor. Using the arrays themselves 
# also simplifies notation, reduces indirection, and reduces heap 
# fragmentation.
