delete() confusion!

[Ian McBride]

Plus or minus a few typos, in the pseudo-program below, which delete
operator gets called, Base1's delete or the default delete?

Thanks for any help..

--
class Base1
{
public:
void operator delete(void *);
void * operator new(int size);
};

class Base2
{
public:
virtual ~Base2();

Dispose()
{
delete this;
}
};

class Derive : virtual public Base1, virtual public Base2
{
int MemberVar;
};

main()
{
Base2 * p = new Derive;
p->Dispose();
}

Neither, unless you have a suitable pseudo-compiler. Fix the "typos" and
add dummy function definitions which output suitable messages. That will
tell you what your real compiler thinks the answer should be.

Good luck,
