std::genera...ratordelete(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this page is about std::generator::promise_type::operatordelete — and yes, the NAME section literally says std::generator::promise_type::operatordelete - std::generator::promise_type::operatordelete, so we're saying it twice because that's what the page does. 💅 This is from the C++ Standard Libary manual, and the manpage tag is std::genera...ratordelete(3).

✨ Synopsis ✨

Here's the signature, no cap:

void operator delete( void* ptr, std::size_t n ) noexcept;

since C++23 ✨

so the way that this works: it deallocates the storage pointed to by ptr using an allocator equivalent to that used to allocate this memory. 🫶

⚠️ important vibe check: the ptr passed to this function must be the one returned from an invocation of one of the operator new overloads with a size argument equal to n. Otherwise the behavior is undefined. like, do not play with that. 😭

🌸 Parameters 🌸

• ptr — a pointer obtained from the previous call to operator new.
• n — the size of the storage to be deallocated.

🫶 Return value 🫶

(none) — literally no return value, bestie. iconic.
