why the memory allocated with new cant be freed using free()

Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback



why the memory allocated with new cant be freed using free()..

Answer / durgalakshmi

new keyword does two things.
1) allocate memory using new operator
2) invokes the constructor.

so the allocated memory using new should be freed only by
delete which frees the memory by calling the destructor.

But free will not do these things.

why the memory allocated with new cant be freed using free()..

Answer / bharti

Because with new operator in C++ delete operator is used to
deallocate the memory. And with malloc() free() is used. S
it may not be supported by some of the compilers to free
memory with free() created by new.
