Looking at TDPL, placement new can actually take a memory address. So Im thinking why not do this:
void* mp = alloc!Foo(); // allocate raw memory off the C heap to hold Foo. Foo* f = new(mp) Foo(); // construct an object in the memory pointed to by mp and then clear(f); // call destructor on f, obliterate with Buffer.init and then call Buffer's default constructor as per TDPL dealloc(mp); //deallocate memory We reached the desired removal of delete without breaking TDPL. Any comments about how possible or not possible it is to do?
