The article discusses C++26's efforts to reduce undefined behavior, focusing on proposal P3144R2 which makes deleting a pointer to an incomplete type ill-formed instead of undefined. This change aims to improve safety by preventing silent program failures due to missing destructor or deallocation information.
Background
C++26 continues the language's evolution toward greater safety and predictability by addressing long-standing sources of undefined behavior that can lead to security vulnerabilities and data corruption.
