It is acceptable to define a deleted allocation or deallocation function without its corresponding free store function. For instance, it is a common practice to define a deleted non-placement allocation or deallocation function as a class member function when the class also defines a placement new function. This prevents accidental allocation via calls to new for that class type, or deallocation via calls to delete on pointers to an object of that class type. It is acceptable to declare, but not define, a private allocation or deallocation function without its corresponding free store function for similar reasons. However, a definition must not be provided as that still allows access to the free store function within a class member function.
