Breaking the debugger whenever delete/delete[] is called in C++

Question

I might be missing something very trivial but is there a way to pause/break the debugger whenever any delete or delete[] is called? I tried Debug->New Breakpoint->Function Breakpoint (typed in delete as the function name) but it doesn't really trigger.

Thanks in Advance!

Answer 1

delete and delete[] are operators in expressions, not functions.

They do however call operator functions that can be overloaded (and used to set breakpoint on). These are named operator delete and operator delete[].
