}I am running this program in a VS2017 environment.
This program crashes when it executes the delete &ii1 instruction. Why?
Of course I could simply define a local object in the + operator and return the result by value. But I want to know why the program does not run as written.
Sometimes (not every time) I get the following message: "HEAP: Invalid address specified to RtlValidateHeap()".
