This is a C++ question, not a GCC question - a better forum would be
comp.lang.c++ or something similar...

No. The compiler needs to have a constructible, concrete type so it
knows how much space to allocate.

Yes. Create an array of ptrs. to the abstract type, and separately
initialize each entry to an object (or 0/NULL).
BTW - I recommend the use of std::vector over arrays where possible.
