用于打开文件的压缩指针表示法

我正在编写一个程序来打开命令行中给出的多个文件。我首先用数组表示法。这似乎管用。现在我试着使用紧凑的指针表示法来练习和习惯指针,但是我做得不对。有人想告诉我我做错了什么吗?谢谢。

#include <cstdlib>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

ifstream *OpenFiles(char * const fileNames[], size_t count)
{   
    ifstream *fileObj = new ifstream[count];

    if (fileObj == NULL) {
        cerr << "Failed to create space for files";
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE); 
    }

//  working loop with array notation
//  for (int loopCount = 0; loopCount < (int) count; loopCount++) {
//      fileObj[loopCount].open(fileNames[loopCount], ios::out);
//      if (fileObj[loopCount].is_open()) {
//          cout << "Opened " << fileNames[loopCount] << "\n";  
//      }
//
//  }

// start compact pointer notation that doesn't work
    ifstream *start, *end;

    for (start = fileObj; start < end; start++) {
        start.open(fileNames, ios::out);
        if (start.is_open()) {
            cout << "Opened " << start << "\n";
        }
    }
    return fileObj;
}
