Answer 1

The standard Draft N4296 5.3.5, pag 121 says:

[expr.delete] [ Note: The deallocation function is called regardless of whether the destructor for the object or some element of the array throws an exception. — end note ]

However, as has emerged from the comments, some compilers does not properly call the operator delete. This can be resolved as bug compiler.

Bug tested for:

• GCC 4.8
• Visual Studio 2015
