[section:checked_delete Header <boost/core/checked_delete.hpp>]
The header *<boost/checked_delete.hpp>* defines two function
templates, *checked_delete* and *checked_array_delete*, and two
class templates, *checked_deleter* and *checked_array_deleter*.
The C++ Standard allows, in 5.3.5/5, pointers to incomplete
class types to be deleted with a delete-expression. When the
class has a non-trivial destructor, or a class-specific
operator delete, the behavior is undefined. Some compilers
issue a warning when an incomplete type is deleted, but
unfortunately, not all do, and programmers sometimes ignore or
disable warnings.
A particularly troublesome case is when a smart pointer's
destructor, such as *boost::scoped_ptr<T>::~scoped_ptr*, is
instantiated with an incomplete type. This can often lead to
silent, hard to track failures.
The supplied function and class templates can be used to
prevent these problems, as they require a complete type, and
cause a compilation error otherwise.
