Comment:

You need to think about it some more. You are correct, in your belief that new
should be called ... indeed, it is, but it isn't your replacement that's even
considered. Think about where the std::string implementation is, and what that
implies for where it must find the implementation of new that it does call.

Ticket details:

Hello,

I am writing a custom wrapper for new/delete allocations to get an aligned
memory. I noticed that if I use std::string, operator new/delete are not called
as it is in a linux version of g++ (operators new/delete are called). With the
default optimization level, operator new/delete is not called and with
optimization levels O1, O2, O3 only operator delete is called.

Source:

 1.  #include <string>
 2.  #include <cstdio>
 3.  #include <cstdlib>
 4.  
 5.  void* operator new(size_t size)
 6.  {
 7.          printf("Calling new: %zu", size);
 8.          void* address = malloc(size);
 9.  
10.          printf(" address: 0x%p\n", address);
11.          return address;
12.  }
13.  
14.  void* operator new[](size_t size)
15.  {
16.          printf("Calling new[]: %zu", size);
17.          void* address = malloc(size);
18.  
19.          printf(" address: 0x%p\n", address);
20.          return address;
21.  }
22.  
23.  void operator delete(void* address)
24.  {
25.          printf("Calling delete, address: 0x%p\n", address);
26.          free(address);
27.  }
28.  
29.  void operator delete[](void* address)
30.  {
31.          printf("Calling delete[], address: 0x%p\n", address);
32.          free(address);
33.  }
34.  
35.  struct Obj
36.  {
37.          std::string m_str;
38.  };
39.  
40.  void test()
41.  {
42.          Obj obj;
43.          obj.m_str = "long string ......................";
44.  }
45.  
46.  int main()
47.  {
48.          test();
49.  
50.          return 0;
51.  }

Compiling with the default optimization level:

  • g++ main.cpp -std=c++11 -o test.exe

Output:

  • NONE

Compiling with the O2 optimization level:

  • g++ main.cpp -std=c++11 -O2 -o test.exe

Output:

  • Calling delete, address: 0x00542098

I am using:

  • OS: Windows 7
  • Mingw: 5.4.1
  • Shell: cmd MINGW32_NT-6.1 MARTIN-LENOVO 1.0.18(0.48/3/2) 2012-11-21 22:34
    i686 Msys
  • Uname -a:
  • G++: g++ (MinGW.org GCC Build-2) 9.2.0
  • GCC: gcc (MinGW.org GCC Build-2) 9.2.0
  • ld: GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.32
