This has nothing to do with Carbon.

This is standard C. And if you program in C or C++, you should
understand how to use pointers.

Look up the standard C functions: malloc, free and sizeof
or the standard C++ operators: new and delete

There are also Carbon API's for allocating memory such as
NewPtr/DisposePtr and NewHandle/DisposeHandle.
But in MacOS X, it's usually better to use the standard C/C++ methods.
