clang-3.7: c++14: missing support for binary operator delete

[akimd (Akim Demaille)]

Hi all,

C++14 changed the operator delete that the keyword delete should invoke from unary to binary. Currently, this operator appears to be missing. FWIW, it seems to work properly with G++, even though it appears to call the right operator delete. So I guess it means that libstdc++ is updated, but not libc++.

$ cat foo.cc
int main()
{
  auto f = new int;
  delete f;
}
$ clang++-mp-3.6 -std=c++14  foo.cc
$ clang++-mp-3.7 -std=c++14  foo.cc

It's an issue in the STL, not the C++ runtime library. The runtime provides 'operator delete(void*)', and the STL provides 'operator delete(void*, unsigned long)'
