It is. There are two ways to go about it, 1. hide it with RAII or 2. set the pointer to null after you delete so subsequent deletes don't do anything plus your pointer is now null so trying to dereference it it will give you errors.

After the delete expression, the pointer becomes invalid. According to the C++ standard access of such a pointer is implementation defined (a type of undefined behaviour). Some platforms may give you segfault, some might not. It is not true. Delete doesn't set the pointer to null.
