Calling delete on variable allocated on the stack

Question

Ignoring programming style and design, is it \"safe\" to call delete on a variable allocated on the stack?

For example:

   int nAmount;
   delete &am         


        

Answer 1

here the memory is allocated using stack so no need to delete it exernally but if you have allcoted dynamically

like int *a=new int()

then you have to do delete a and not delete &a(a itself is a pointer), because the memory is allocated from free store.
