Delete calls memset?
c++, delete-operator, memset
Solution
In debug version of the Microsoft C/C++ Runtime library, `delete` sets the freed memory to `0xDD` using `memset`. That's why you see `memset` in the callstack. You won't see it in release version. Likewise when memory is allocated through `new`, the newly allocated memory is set to `0xCD`.

Problem
Why in call stack after `delete this;` the following function is being called? ``` msvcr110d.dll!_VEC_memset(void * dst, int val, int len) ``` Please consider that `operator delete` is not overloaded.
