The story of this is that ASan gave some alloc-dealloc mismatch warnings
if we didn't define these specific delete operators, so we defined them
in this commit:
https://gitlab.com/gnutools/binutils-gdb/-/commit/5fff6115feae7aaa23c0ae8d144e1c8418ee2ee1
But for the variants of delete that are only introduced in C++14, it
meant adding functions without an equivalent declaration when building
in C++11, which produced some -Wmissing-declarations warnings. So these
declarations were added in this commit:
https://gitlab.com/gnutools/binutils-gdb/-/commit/b038b53f1ff4bf00ecdead1db23eddc4fd654305
The idea being that in C++11, these delete operators won't get used, but
there will be a declaration to avoid the warning, and in C++14 the
declarations will duplicate those found in headers, which is harmless.
And now here we are, we have a C++11 compiler that complains about
declaring these delete operators.
So we can't simply remove the declarations and / or definitions, we
would just re-introduce the problems fixed by these commits.
I think that a clean way to fix this would be to conditionally define
these delete operators based on the C++ version. So we would remove the
declarations, as you do in your commit, but place the definitions under
an "#if __cplusplus >= xyz".
