<A NAME="sec4"><H3>Description</H3></A>
<P>The library provides definitions for six overloads of the global operator <SAMP>delete</SAMP>. The functions are implicitly called as the second step (after the call to the destructor, if any) during the evaluation of the corresponding <SAMP>delete</SAMP> expression to deallocate storage previously allocated by one of the matching allocation functions (<SAMP>::operator new</SAMP>). Replacements for the replaceable forms of the functions should always paired with the replacements for the corresponding overload of operator <SAMP>new</SAMP>.</P>

A C++ program may replace these functions.</P>
