The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to comp.std.c++ as well.


is the following legal according to the latest version of the standard?

Code similar to this is used in LEDA (a library of data structures and
algorithms) and a recent snapshot of egcs [gcc version egcs-2.91.25
19980425 (gcc2 ss-980401 experimental)] doesn't like it.

class C {};

typedef C A;

main()
{
  A* p = new A;
  p->~A();
}

Thanks,

	Maurizio
