new keyword does two things.
1) allocate memory using new operator
2) invokes the constructor.
so the allocated memory using new should be freed only by
delete which frees the memory by calling the destructor.
But free will not do these things.

Answer / bharti
Because with new operator in C++ delete operator is used to
deallocate the memory. And with malloc() free() is used. S
it may not be supported by some of the compilers to free
memory with free() created by new.
