Programming

Hi,

I have an requirement to overload the delete operator in C++, but it should also accept the sizeof() the object that is to be deleted. Actually I am trying to built a custom memory allocator and deallocator like a pool, which makes me to overload the delete operator.
Small example of the problem is

Code:

#include <new>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void operator delete(void* p)
{
cout << "Hello" << endl;
free(p);
} // (1)
void operator delete(void* p, size_t s)
{
cout << "World" << endl;
free(p);
} // (2)
int main()
{
int* p = new int;
delete p; // This cannot render to show 'Hello' or 'World'
}

Output
Hello

I want to call the delete with size operator. So please help me how can this program will give the output as World.

Thanks in advance for my help.

I think this is a compiler specific question. Can you also post what OS and compiler you are using? I tried this code as is and it failed to compile, because it was missing stdlib (required for free). I added that, and then I got "Hello". My compiler and OS is
$> c++ --version
c++ (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) 4.4.1
