side_[0].tracks[track].size = 6250 * 16; side_[0].tracks[track].bitfield = new unsigned char[side_[0].tracks[track].size];

This code performs the following operations:

  1. Sets a size value for a track's data:

    • side_[0].tracks[track].size is assigned the value 6250 * 16.
    • This calculates a value of 6250 * 16 = 100000 (assuming integer arithmetic).
    • side_ is presumably an array or structure, where side_[0] represents the first side, tracks is a collection of tracks, and [track] is selecting a specific track.
    • The size field of this track is likely used to define how much memory (in bytes) is needed for a specific attribute, probably related to the track's data or information.
  2. Allocates memory for the track's bitfield:

    • side_[0].tracks[track].bitfield is set to point to a dynamically allocated memory block of size side_[0].tracks[track].size.
    • The memory being allocated is an array of unsigned char objects (bytes) with a size of side_[0].tracks[track].size. This creates space for 100,000 unsigned char elements.

Purpose:

  • This code prepares a track object to store some data in a bitfield that is 100000 bytes (or 100 KB) in size. The bitfield is dynamically allocated to manage memory efficiently for this specific track.

Notes:

  • Such usage of new requires that the programmer handles memory cleanup properly (e.g., with delete[]) later in the program to avoid memory leaks.
