[Resolved] Possible leak in RawVolume::resize()

Code:

                //Create the data
                m_pData = new VoxelType[this->getWidth() * this->getHeight()* this->getDepth()];

m_pData is not being deleted before being pointed to a new array.

You are right... but actually there is a note above that function (which I would not expect you to have noticed) saying 'This function should probably be made internal...'. It's currently only being called from the constructor so no memory leak occurs, but do you have a scenario where you need to call it directly?

Of course it would be better to delete the data first, but I'm just wondering if I can't remove this function for some reason?

No, I don't use it, I just noticed it.

I've renamed 'resize' to 'initialise' and have also made it private. It basically holds code which is common to all the constructors. I think the new name makes the intention clearer.

Note that I've made this change locally, but it should get pushed through to Git master in the next few days.
