C++ guarantees that operator delete checks its argument for null-ness. If the argument is 0, the delete expression has no effect. In other words, deleting a null pointer is a safe (yet useless) operation. There is no need to check the pointer for null-ness before passing it to delete:
if (p) // useless; delete already checks for a null value delete(p);
