In the discussion there was some confusion between an class and an instance; however, the class exists before new is called, though, of course, the instance does not exist until new has finished. Operator new has information for the parent, though it was inherited into and called to allocate a child instance. The code sought to leave information for deletion in explicitly in the instance.
