Bug#372152: g++-4.1: PR27935 appears to be unresolved (operator delete(void*, size_t) issue)

[Bruce Stephens <bruce@cenderis.demon.co.uk>]

Package: g++-4.1
Version: 4.1.1-2
Severity: normal

<http://gcc.gnu.org/PR27935> describes what appears to be simply a size_t issue:

struct a
{
  void operator delete (void*, unsigned int);
  ~a();
};

void g(a *b)
{
  delete b;
}

fails to compile.  But of course size_t isn't necessarily unsigned int.

The bug has an attachment which compiles in g++-4.0, and I presume is
intended to compile in g++-4.1.  But now, it doesn't.

#include <cstddef>

struct B {
    virtual ~B() { }
    void operator delete(void*, size_t);
};

The error is

test.cpp: In destructor 'virtual B::~B()':
test.cpp:4: error: no suitable 'operator delete' for 'B'
