std::vector is not the proper replacement for an array since it
can grow. The correct class would be one of:
boost::scoped_array<>
boost::shared_array<>

Should I delete memory pointed by pointer a if there is bad_alloc when
allocating memory in memory pointed by pointer b? I am not sure whether
there
will be memory leak if I do not delete a.
[Code]
try {
a = new int [N];
b = new int [M];
David W. and others suggested RAII and exception-safe std::vector usage. I
completely agree with them.
I'd just like to add that:
} catch (bad_alloc)
I think you should catch using *reference*, e.g.:
} catch( std::bad_alloc & )
