Initializing an array of objects allocated dynamically

[DK]

Is there any pointer analog to this code (adapted from the FAQ):
someclass Objects[5] = { someclass(1), someclass(2), someclass(3),
someclass(4), someclass(5) }; Also, does the above code require the
copy constructor and/or assignment operator to be public? Considering
the fact that someclass has only parameterized constructors (so
creating someclass *pObjects = new someclass[5]; is not an option)?
The idea behind this is that I want to create a class which is
immutable and non-copyable after construction. Hence I don't want to
make the copy constructor and operator = public.

Do you mean something like:

class someclass
{
someclass& operator=( const someclass& );
someclass( const someclass& );
public:
someclass(int) {}
};

someclass *Objects[] =
{
new someclass(1),
new someclass(2),
new someclass(3)
};

or

auto_ptr<someclass> Objects[] =
{
auto_ptr<someclass>( new someclass(1) ),
auto_ptr<someclass>( new someclass(2) ),
auto_ptr<someclass>( new someclass(3) )
};
