Hi,
I'm not sure of the standard's position on the following code:
int main ()
{
unsigned char *buffer = new (unsigned char)[1024];
delete [] buffer;
}
3.3 versions of g++ accept this code without complaint, but 3.4 gives
the message:
test.cpp:3: error: expected `,' or `;' before '[' token
Changing the code to the more "normal"
unsigned char *buffer = new unsigned char[1024];
fixes the compilation error, but I'm wondering if 3.4 is correct in
rejecting this code.
Thank you

This was covered in a recent thread on the gcc list.

This is not valid C++. Earlier g++ versions accepted it, but g++ now
correctly rejects it, as we are trying to make g++ conform better to the
C++ standard.
