So I've written my own memory management class.
Essentially it allocates a big block of memory via malloc, then upon request it hands over the memory to the requester in the program (as you would expect
.)
I've also implemented templated
allocation and free functions, which explicitly calls the constructor and destructor
based on the templatized
class.
The problem, as you might already be realizing, is what about when I attempt to delete through a base pointer?
The templated
function picks up the base class' type, and thus the base's virtual destructor
is called, not the correct derived destructor
.
There doesn't happen to be a placement delete or anything that would function like a regular "delete" command but not attempt to deallocate
the memory?
