"delete this;" in const member function?

[Ingolf Koch]

Hi,

the following might not be standard compliant:

class A {
    public:
        A* clone() const {return new A(*this);}
        void kill() const {delete this;}
};

Is it allowed to "delete this" in a const member function?
egcs compiles this piece of code without any warning (even
when -Wall is given), while for example DEC cxx 5.7 treats
it as an error.

Regards
