Michael,

When I use the syntax
	delete [size] array;
and compile with '-O -Wall',  I am told
	file.cc: warning: array size expression for delete ignored


This sounds ominous.  Is the [size] really ignored?  Is only the first
element of my array being destroyed?  Is the warning bogus?  Is my code
bogus?  Do you need some sample (bogus?) code?

My code seems to do the right thing (I should run out of CM memory fairly
quickly if this is failing to destroy all elements of the array, but I
don't), but this warning has got me worried.

Thanks,

Worried in LA
