Question about operator new

[codefuns]

when I use the placement form new to new a object(actually it does not
alloc memory space for the object), how should I delete this object
accordingly?

By a pseudo-destructor call.

T object;

No, you should only call its destructor explicitly.

MyClass *myObj = new (somestorage) MyClass();
...
myObj->~MyClass(); // destroy

The storage is unrelated to the lifetime of 'myObj' and how you obtain it
or dispose of it is immaterial here.

(sorry, hit the wrong key... I'll continue)

T object;
object.~T();
new (&object) T();

But why do you want to do this in the first place? If you don't know how, I
suspect you shouldn't...

I think you mistakenly answered how to use placement 'new' to "renew", or
"reconstruct", an object that is already in existence. The OP, IMO, did
not ask that. 'codefuns' simply asked what to do with the pointer which
was obtained from a 'placement new', whether it should be 'delete'd.

I need to freshen up on what's in our FAQ so I don't answer those
questions again and again and again and again and again... Thanks, M!

I just need a template class that has both functions of stl classes
vector and map. the data is stored on a array and and be indexed by a
key. so that the performances of random access and key access are both
good.

I have try to delete the object by calling the destructor directly, it
seems work.

thanks peoples all here.

I stand corrected.
I was misled by the phrase "when I use the placement form new to new a
object" and thought he was talking about "renewing". I should pay more
attention next time... :-)

And to the original poster, we might add that although the code above
works, a simpler way to reinitialize an object is to simply assign it
an empty value, like in

object = T();

I am curious now. So you have a container where each element has two
keys? How would the key access of your container be any better than it
is for a std::map, you still have to perform a binary search don't you?
What is it exactly that makes you think a std::map wouldn't work, have
you tried it?
