Re: Using delete on an object without new
One ocassion where in I wanted something like that was when I had 2 code paths and each led to either a pointer to an object on the stack or the free-store and it was a tough to find out when it was pointing to what and correspondingly choose to call delete or not (without adding a state). So, I opted to change the naked pointer usage with a shared_ptr with the deleter set to a noop routine which I used in case the pointer was to the stack object else it had the default deleter as delete in cases it were pointing to the free store. But, I did not need to use delete explicitly as the OP is requesting for. So, not sure what he actually needs that for.
