     Compiler error C2541
 
     delete : cannot delete nonpointer objects
 
     The delete operator was used on an object that was not a pointer.
 
     The delete operator can only be used on pointers.
 
     The following is an example of this error:
 
          void main()
          {
             int i;
             delete i;            // error, i is not a pointer
             int* ip = new int;
             delete ip;           // OK
          }
