Standard C++	Library

   NAME delete - The delete operators	(used to deallocate dynamic
   storage in  a program)	are declared in	the header <new>.

 SYNOPSIS

   #include <new>

   void operator	delete(void* ptr) throw();

   void operator	delete(void* ptr, const	std::nothrow_t&) throw();

   void operator	delete(void *p,	void*) throw();

   void operator	delete[](void *p) throw();

   void operator	delete[](void* ptr ,const std::nothrow_t&) throw();

   void operator	delete[](void* ptr, void*) throw();

 DESCRIPTION

   void *operator  delete(void* ptr) throw();
   void *operator  delete(void* ptr, const std::nothrow_t&) throw()

   These	versions of delete are called by a delete expression to
   deallocate storeage pointed to by ptr.  A C++ program can define
   a function with either of these signatures which is intended to
   replace the  implementation provided default provided by the
   Standard C++	Library.   These	functions accept a value for
   ptr which is null or that was  returned by a previous call to
   operator new(std::size_t) or operator	new (std::size_t, const
   std::nothrow_t&).  For a null	ptr value, these  functions do
   nothing.

   void operator	delete(void * ptr, void	*) throw();

   This function	is called by a placement delete	expression.  It
   complements default placement new	and performs no	action.

   void operator	delete[](void* ptr) throw();
   void operator	delete[](void* ptr,const std::nothrow_t&) throw();

   The next two functions are called by a delete[] expression i.e. by
   the forarray form	of a delete expression.	 They are called with
   a	value of  ptr which	is null	or that	was returned by	a
   previous call	to  operator new[](size_t)	or operator
   new[](size_t, const std::nothrow_t&).  For a	null ptr value, these
   functions  do	nothing.  A C++	program	can define a function with
   either of  these signatures which	is intended to replace the
   default implementation provided by the Standard C++ Library.

   void operator	delete[](void* ptr, void *) throw();

   This function	is called by a placement array delete expression.  It
   complements	default	array placement	new and	performs no action.

 NOTES

   Placement delete and delete applied to an array allocated with
   placement new is not supported in Compaq C++ Version 6.0.
