Bug ID: 71218
Summary: Add a warning about "new T[integer-literal]"
Product: gcc
Version: 7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: diagnostic
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
There is no reason anyone should ever write:
T* p = new T[8];
...
delete[] p;
The compiler should issue a warning telling them to stop being silly.
It should probably only trigger for integer literals, because a variable or a
macro might be constant in some build configurations and not in others. But an
integer literal that isn't the result of macro-expansion is just silly.
