Memory allocated out side of try and Delete in finally

[ptr_Electron]

I had a memory allocated out side a try block and I am trying to delete in finally? Should there be any issue with this. I am getting access violation while deleting

char *heap = new char [50];
try
{

    ......

}
finally(...)
{

delete[] heap; // access violation
}

It should work when not modifying (which includes deleting) the heap pointer inside the try block. If you are not doing such (just comment the code inside the try block to check it), you should tell us which compiler you are using because finally is not defined by the C++ standard.

I am using RAD Studio code gear

So it is the BCC compiler. According to the __finally (C++) - RAD Studio[^] it should be __try and __finally. When omitting the leading underscores the code should not even compile because try requires a catch and __try requires an __except or __finally. Is it still not working with the correct syntax and an empty __try block? Then you might ask this in a BCC specific forum like Recent Topics - Forum - Embarcadero Community[^].
