== Why is this an issue?

Memory that is allocated with ``++new T[n]++`` _must_ be freed with ``++delete[]++``. Leave out the ``++[]++``, and the likely result is heap corruption or, as a best-case scenario, premature program termination.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,cpp]
----
char *cp = new char[10];
// ...
delete cp;  // Noncompliant
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,cpp]
----
char *cp = new char[10];
// ...
delete[] cp; 
----
