Hi Netters,
  I'm sure this is a beginners problem, but i cant find any 
solution so I hope one of you can help me out.

I have created an array
int *pdata = new int[100] ;

somewhere else i want to free all that space.
If I use the following code

int *tmp ;
while(pdata){
	tmp = pdata + 1;
	delete data ;
	data = tmp ;
}

I get the the following error :-
malloc/free/realloc: clobbered space detected
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

Is it that if I had said instead "delete pdata", 
the whole array would be destroyed?

Thanks a lot in advance.
