When an object is deleted, 6.7.5.5.3 [basic.stc.dynamic.deallocation] says that the deallocation “[renders] invalid all pointers referring to any part of the deallocated storage.” According to 6.8.4 [basic.compound] paragraph 3, a pointer whose address is one past the end of an array is considered to point to an unrelated object that happens to reside at that address. Does this need to be clarified to specify that the one-past-the-end pointer of an array is not invalidated by deleting the following object? (See also 7.6.2.9 [expr.delete] paragraph 4, which also mentions that the system deallocation function renders a pointer invalid.)
