Item 16. Writing Exception-Safe
Code—Part 9
Difficulty: 8
How well do you
understand the innocuous expression delete[] p? What are
its implications when it comes to exception safety?
And now, for the topic you've been waiting for:
"Destructors That Throw and Why They're Evil."
Consider the expression delete[] p;,
where p points to a valid array on the free store, which
was properly allocated and initialized using new[].
-
What does
delete[] p; really do?
-
How safe is it?
Be as specific as possible.
