Compiler Error C2824

  • Article

return type for 'operator new' must be 'void *'

With non-based pointers, overloads of operator new must return void *.

The following sample generates C2824:

// C2824.cpp
// compile with: /c
class   A {
   A* operator new(size_t i, char *m);   // C2824
   // try the following line instead
   // void* operator new(size_t i, char *m);
};
