[cxx-abi-dev] __cxa_delete{,2,3}(NULL, ...) legal?

[Mark Mitchell]

Scott, Dennis --

The short answer is that the ABI does not really specify the behavior of
these functions when the first argument is NULL.

The G++ runtime does not presently permit the first argument to be NULL.
Changing that would be OK; it's backwards compatible.

If there's no objection, we can update the specification to indicate that
the "array_address" parameter may be NULL.
