delete ? new ??

[gtsphere]

well i ran into something i thought i could have gotten around, the new and delete operators... lol

well i need a delete operator, any ideas? i really haven't seen many around to even learn from

thanks in advance soo much!

Code: Select all

void operator delete (void* p) { free(p); }

you might need the array variant, but i don't recall the exact code at the moment. of course, replace free() with your kernel's free() function.

Code: Select all

operator new(size_t size)
{
    return malloc(size);
}

operator new[](size_t size)
{
    return malloc(size);
}

operator delete(void *p)
{
    free(p);
}

operator delete[](void *p)
{
    free(p);
}

No offense, Tim, but that answer only helps if Gtsphere has already written a memory mangler and implemented malloc() and free() based on it.

Then again, GTS seems to be OK with this answer (or at least hasn't complained about it), so perhaps he has.

It's issues like this that make me want to use a garbage-collecting system for the code outside of the kernel proper.
