Re: NULL pointer in overloaded operator delete []

Please read the following code

class Test{
public:
        void * operator new [] (size_t t)
        { return malloc(t); }

        void operator delete [] (void *p)
        { free(p); }
};

void main () {

Test *p= 0;

delete [] p;

/* What should happen here, Should the call go inside Test::operator
delete []. Because what I learned from books is that deleting a NULL
pointer is safe (calling ::operator delete[] on a NULL pointer does
not crash). But here it causes a crash on Sun CC because it gets
inside Test::operator delete [] whereas on VC++ and g++ it doesn't.

        Should I put a check in Test::operator delete [] for "p!
=NULL"? Is Sun CC behaving as per the C++ standard?

Thanks in advance
