            Bug ID: 126785
           Summary: delete with void* should be rejected when using
                    -pedantic-errors
           Product: gcc
           Version: 17.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: luigighiron at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

GCC incorrectly accepts the following with -pedantic-errors:

int main(){
    void*p=0;
    delete p;
}

void* is not a "pointer to object type", so this is invalid and should be
rejected. Clang correctly rejects this with -pedantic-errors.
