Very Computer

I am having a problem with some very basic functionality of the
SparcWorks C++ 4.2 compiler running on a Sparc Ultra-5. A program will
die from a SIGABRT and say: "Run-time error, libC: 'delete[]' does not
correspond to any new[]' ". It appears to be related to the fact that I
am deleteing an a array of derived objects. Unless we are missing
something really obvious, it looks like a bug in the compiler.  I
compile with 'CC -g0 test.cxx -o testprog.' Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Here is a simple test case:

     class baseItem {
         public:
             baseItem() {};
             virtual ~baseItem();
     };

     baseItem::~baseItem() { }

     class derivedItem : public baseItem {
         public:
             derivedItem() : derivedItemValue(0) {};
             virtual ~derivedItem();

         private:
             int derivedItemValue;
     };

     derivedItem::~derivedItem() {}

     int main()
     {
         baseItem* itemList = new derivedItem[10];
         delete [] itemList;
         return(0);
     }

$ CC a.cc
$ a.out
Run-time error, libC:
        'delete[]' does not correspond to any 'new[]'
Abort (core dumped)

Update my path to use the 5.0 C++ compiler:
$ cc50
$ CC a.cc
$ a.out

works like a charm.

now try g++

$ g++ a.cc
a.out
$ a.out
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

$ g++ -v
 gcc -v

I'm not going to venture a gues into your C++ code.  I'm not
knowledgable enough to venture opinions...except that the 4.2
C++ compiler is to be avoided.
