Subject: Unchecked_Deallocation vs. delete
Date: 9 May 2007 09:27:25 -0700
Date: 2007-05-09T09:27:25-07:00	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1178728045.890171.6110@q75g2000hsh.googlegroups.com> (raw)

What's the benefit of Unchecked_Deallocation as a generic library
procedure vs. built-in deallocation operator like delete in C++?

The disadvantage, as far as I perceive it, is that it breaks the
symmetry that should be expected with regard to the allocation
operation. If "new" is built-in, then the deallocation should be built-
in as well. Making it a generic library procedure just makes more work
for the programmers for no clear reason.

What clear reason am I missing?
