c++ - What is the array form of 'delete'?

Question

When I compiled a code using the array name as a pointer, and I deleted the array name using delete, I got a warning about deleting an array without using the array form (I don't remember the exact wording).

The basic code was:

int data[5];
delete data;

So, what's the array form of delete?

Answer 1

The array form of delete is:

delete [] data;

Edit: But as others have pointed out, you shouldn't be calling delete for data defined like this:

int data[5];

You should only call it when you allocate the memory using new like this:

int *data = new int[5];
