Noticed while working on #1294: With C++17, if you use
shared_ptr<T[]>
, it will automatically select the right destructor, i.e.delete[]
.Note that our old version of
storeChunk<>()
already supports this more or less on accident, since we usestd::decay
insidedetermineDatatype
then cast the shared_ptr down to void type. With giving this an explicit overload, we make the support more explicit to the user and also to ourselves, so we don't accidentally break this functionality in future.
