C++ new and delete

 May 31, 2008     CPP     No comments   

How is dynamic memory management handled in C++?

  • C++ supports the operators new and delete for dynamic memory management.
  • These operators perform both allocation/ deallocation of memory and initialization/ cleanup of objects.
  • The class constructor is automatically called when the object is created and the destructor is called when the object is destroyed.
  • The new and delete operators can be overloaded if required.

EXAMPLE: Basic usage of new and delete

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class MyClass {
    public:
        MyClass() { cout << "In Constructor" << endl; }
        ~MyClass() { cout << "In Destructor" << endl; }
};

int main()
{
    // Create a delete a single object in heap
    MyClass* obj = new MyClass();
    delete obj;

    // Create and Delete an array of objects in heap
    int *intPtr = new int[10];
    delete[] intPtr;
    return 0;
}

EXAMPLE: Overloading of new and delete

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class MyClass {
    public:

    // Overloaded new
    void* operator new (size_t sz) {
        cout << "Object Created" << endl;
        // Invoke the default new operator
        return ::new MyClass();
    }

    // Overloaded delete
    void operator delete(void* ptr) {
        cout << "Object Destroyed" << endl;
        // Invoke the default delete operator
        ::delete ptr;
    }
};

int main()
{
    MyClass* obj = new MyClass();
    delete obj;
    return 0;
}
OUTPUT:
Object Created
Object Destroyed
