Can C++0x still explicitly allocate with global operator new?
Wikipedia states:
A type can be made impossible to allocate with operator new:
struct NonNewable { void *operator new(std::size_t) = delete; };
An object of this type can only ever be allocated as a stack object or as a member of another type. It cannot be directly heap-allocated without non-portable trickery. (Since placement new is the only way to call a constructor on user-allocated memory and this use has been forbidden as above, the object cannot be properly constructed.)
Deleting operator new is similar to making it private in current C++, but isn't explicitly using global operator new, which avoids class-specific lookup, still valid C++0x?
NonNewable *p = ::new NonNewable();
// neither non-portable nor trickery, though perhaps not widely known
Have I missed something in the draft?
To be clear, this is valid C++03 and works fine:
struct NonNewable {
private:
void *operator new(std::size_t); // not defined
};
int main() {
// ignore the leaks, it's just an example
void *mem = operator new(sizeof(NonNewable));
NonNewable *p = ::new(mem) NonNewable();
p 开发者_开发百科= ::new NonNewable();
return 0;
}
I believe you are right and wikipedia is wrong. The C++0x draft standard describes "deleted functions" (8.4p10) as functions which may not be used in any way (or else the program is ill-formed). They play no part in scope or name lookup different from normal functions. And the relevant paragraphs concerning new expressions have remained the same:
[5.3.4p8] A new-expression obtains storage for the object by calling an allocation function (3.7.4.1). ...
[5.3.4p9] If the new-expression begins with a unary :: operator, the allocation function's name is looked up in the global scope. Otherwise, if the allocated type is a class type T or array thereof, the allocation function's name is looked up in the scope of T. If this lookup fails to find the name, or if the allocated type is not a class type, the allocation function's name is looked up in the global scope.
So yes, the expression ::new NonNewable
[or ::new(mem) NonNewable
] would choose an overload of ::operator new
, ignoring the function NonNewable::operator new
, and would not make the program ill-formed.
