Hi!
In one of Herb Sutters articles I saw that
after deleting a pointer (a pimpl) he assigns 0 afterwards
which seems to me like a good idea.
(see e.g. http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/028.htm or http://tinyurl.com/bq8o)
Maybe there is a good reason (efficiency?)
why checked_delete omits this extra step.
Please explain.
template<class T> inline void checked_delete(T * x)
{
typedef char type_must_be_complete[sizeof(T)];
delete x;
// why not ?
x = 0;
}
best regards,
Markus
