C++ delete question

Mulligan · 2003-06-02T22:41:59

If I declare an array as such: int* array = new int[10]; there is no way to tell how long the variable ''array'' is without using another variable. So how does calling delete[] array; work, if ''array'' can be of any size? How does delete know how much memory to free?

i decree that from now on, this question will be answered with two words, "its magic."

...but that doesn''t make any sense. You want: "It''s magic.", with the apostrophe.
