Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     You can write your own version of the delete operator to
     implement a customized memory-allocation scheme. The delete
     operator you define must use one of the following prototypes:
 
         void operator delete( void __near *ptr );
         void operator delete( void __far *ptr );
         void operator delete( void __huge *ptr );
         void operator delete( __segment seg, void __based(void) *ptr );
 
     You can also define class-specific versions of any of these forms
     of delete. When defining a class-specific version, you can
     specify an optional argument of type size_t. If present, the
     argument is automatically set to the size of the object being
     deleted. You cannot specify this argument when redefining the
     global version of delete.
