RPFalse, not in agreement. The pointer is valid. A pointer
RPcan point to anything. The value from the derefenced
RPpointer is invalid.

Incorrect. There exist implementations (e.g. x86 architecture when
using far or huge data memory models and the AS/400) where
deallocation of storage causes the _values_ of any pointers to that
storage to become invalid. (Loading the value of the pointer into a
CPU pointer register causes a processor fault.) So simply using the
_values_ of the pointers, without even dereferencing them, causes
undefined behaviour. The C++ standard mentions this in regard to
storage with dynamic storage duration. The C standard is more general
and points out that the values of pointers to an object become
indeterminate after that object's lifetime, irrespective of storage
duration, ends.
