Should delete or delete[] be used for a pointer to an array type?
// It is assumed that some_type is an existing type
typedef some_type array_type[10];
array_type* a1 = new array_type[5];
array_type* b1 = new some_type[5][10];
array_type* a2 = new array_type;
array_type* b2 = new some_type[10];
...
delete[] a1;
delete[] b1;
delete a2; // or should it be delete[] a2;
delete[] b2; // or should it be delete b2;
