Item 16: Use the Same Form in Corresponding Uses of new and delete

delete-for-new and delete[]-for-new[].

• All constructors should use the same form of new so that destructor may use the correct form of delete.

• Don’t typedef array type, which may result in mismatched new and delete form if you aren’t careful.

typedef Foo FooArray[4];
Foo *p = new FooArray;  // Implicitly call new[].
delete p;  // Call delete, not delete[].

Aside: Arrays just don’t mix well with modern C++. You should avoid them as much as you can.
