Miscellaneous-NoNewWithArrays

Do not use new with arrays

Required inputs: IR

The use of new with arrays should be avoided, as there is a lot of potential for error:

• Buffer overflows are more likely as the size of the array needs to be handled separately from the array
• Operator delete will not properly free the array, and operator delete[] needs to be used instead.

Instead, use std::vector to manage heap-allocated arrays.
