Calling delete on variable allocated on the stack

Question

Ignoring programming style and design, is it \"safe\" to call delete on a variable allocated on the stack?

For example:

   int nAmount;
   delete &am         


        

Answer 1

After playing a bit with g++ 4.4 in windows, I got very interesting results:

1. calling delete on a stack variable doesn't seem to do anything. No errors throw, but I can access the variable without problems after deletion.

2. Having a class with a method with delete this successfully deletes the object if it is allocated in the heap, but not if it is allocated in the stack (if it is in the stack, nothing happens).
