C++ :: Correct Allocation Of Memory Inside Methods / Functions?

The problem is the following, I am making a wrapper object of sockets in c++, since the ones in c are somewhat ugly, and not quite OOP. I can't use boost sockets since the project I am currently working on, can only use the libraries found in ubuntu 12.04 repositories, and the ubuntu 12.04 repositories are on boost-1.46. My solution was the following, three classes, AbstractSocket, ServerSocket, and Socket. AbstractSocket is the superclass of both ServerSocket and Socket. The following is the class definition of each of these classes:

class AbstractSocket {
public:
AbstractSocket();
AbstractSocket(const int file_descriptor, const struct addrinfo* local_address,

[Code].....

My problem and question is the following, on ServerSocket::accept method I have to do a "client_socket = new Socket(abstractSocket);", and in Socket::recv_all method I do something like "buffer = new unsigned char[bytes_to_receive];". These two situations are somewhat problematic to me, because I don't wish to make the caller of the methods responsible for deleting this memory.

Therefore, is there an elegant way to retrieve heap allocated space from a function/method? Or better yet, is there an elegant way of telling the caller of the method, that the memory will have to be deleted?

I thought of placing an "unsigned char* buffer" inside Socket class, and to delete the memory allocated in the destructor and on consecutive calls to recv_all, but i don't believe this is the solution, and it doesn't solves me the problem for the "accept" method.
