            Bug ID: 107527
           Summary: warning: declaration of ‘void operator delete(void*,
                    std::size_t)’ has a different exception specifier
                    [-Wsystem-headers]
           Product: gcc
           Version: 12.2.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

This code compiles cleanly unless you use -Wsystem-headers:

#include <new>
#include <cstdlib>

void* operator new(std::size_t n)
{
  return std::malloc(n);
}

void operator delete(void* p)
{
  std::free(p);
}

void operator delete(void* p, std::size_t)
{
  std::free(p);
}


$ g++ del.C -c
$ g++ del.C -c -Wsystem-headers
del.C:9:6: warning: declaration of ‘void operator delete(void*)’ has a
different exception specifier [-Wsystem-headers]
    9 | void operator delete(void* p)
      |      ^~~~~~~~

      |      ^~~~~~~~


But the warning is correct, and indicates a problem in the user code. It should
not be suppressed by the system header.
