New (C++) - Releasing Dynamically Allocated Memory

Releasing Dynamically Allocated Memory

Any memory dynamically allocated with new must be released with delete. The delete operator can be used in two ways: one for de-allocating memory allocated to arrays with new and the other for deleting single objects.

Note that the compiler is not required to generate a diagnostic message for using the wrong delete. Furthermore, using the inappropriate deallocator will result in undefined behavior.
