As can be seen from the result, the global operators new and delete work both for base types and for classes. An example of overloading the operators new and delete for an array of objects of type Point is given.
The Point class defines a point on the coordinate plane and contains the following declarations:. The program code that implements the Point class is as follows:. Important: in order to overload the operators new and delete for arrays, it is not necessary to overload these operators for single objects. Below is an example of global overloading of the operators new[] and delete[] for arrays of class Point.
As can be seen from the result, the overloaded global operator functions operator new[] and operator delete[] for arrays work in the same way as with the base types float and with the class types Point.

But why are the addresses part of the solution? I have only to compare the memory address of the created objects with the memory address of the not deleted objects. In addition to the memory address, I have the size of the reserved memory at my disposal. I use this information in operator new. A simple comparison shows. I forget to release an object with 4 bytes and an object with bytes. In addition, the sequence of allocation in the source code corresponds to the sequence of outputs in the program.
Now, it should be quite easy to identify the missing memory releases. The program is not beautiful in two ways. First, I statically allocate the memory for std::array; second, I want to know, which object was not released.
In the next post, I will solve both issues. My special thanks to Embarcadero. I'm happy to give online seminars or face-to-face seminars worldwide. Please call me if you have any questions.

For instance, you might specialize memory allocation for a class in order to squeeze some extra performance out of your program. Suppose you have a linked list and you want to speed up the allocation of new nodes. One way to do this is to maintain a list of deleted nodes, whose memory can be reused when new nodes are allocated. Instead of using the default new and delete, new will be overloaded to try to get a node from the list of deleted nodes; only if no deleted nodes are available would it dynamically allocate memory.
Delete will simply add the node to the deleted nodes. This way instead of allocating new memory from the heap which is pretty time consuming we will use the already allocated space. The technique is usually called caching. That is, you can implement a garbage collector similar to the one that Java or C uses so your objects will be deleted automatically when they are no longer used. You might wonder why you need to provide your own allocator to write a garbage collector.
One more example usage is creating an arena allocator that makes memory allocations and deallocations lightning fast at the cost of temporarily holding on to more memory than necessary by allocating a large block up front and then carving out one piece at a time. In order to specialize allocation, you overload operator new and operator delete. For more on operator overloading, see introduction to operator overloading.
