delete[] assert error

[cjmalloy]

I am getting an assert error for a delete[] statement that only usually happens to me when i accidently try to delete it twice or something.
But can anyone tell me why this code also gives me an assert error in ms vc++?

int main ()
{
    char* title = new char[11] = "123456789\0";
    delete[] title;
}

thanks

I think you should break your line in two:

int main()
{

    char* title = new char[11];
    title = "123456789\0";
    delete[] title;

    return 0;
}

Same error, both forms are equivalent.

I do not get any error...

Here's what I'm getting: http://i35.tinypic.com/14dlyzm.jpg
So far I've been able to reproduce this error on two different computers, one with the latest Visual Studio and one with the Express edition.

Yeah, got the error: title = "123456789\0"; is pointing title to a new location, this should run on VC++:

int main()
{

    char *title = new char[11], value[11]="123456789\0";
    for (short p=0; p<11; p++)
          title[p]=value[p];
    delete[] title;

    return 0;
}

in dev-c++ or borland c it works jusr fine.....so u might create an app for c++ (or ANSI c).....at least .....it should work ;)

Bazzy's last code worked.
I guess '= "123456789/0" ' returns a pointer, ie. it is not a copy operator.
Thanks Bazzy.

IMO.

int main()
{

    char* title = new char[11];
    sprintf(title, "%s", "123456789");
    delete[] title;

    return 0;
}
