In debug builds, each resource object (on C_HEAP) will be initialized with set_allocation_type() (which is correct). What is not correct is that the constructor (and thus) set_allocation_type() is called on the array itself (which is not a ResourceObj). This initialization will be partially overwritten by the header that keeps track of the array size. When the array destructor later is called, it will also chain call the non-array destructor. In debug builds the verification of _allocation_t[0] will fail as it has been overwritten by the code that keeps track of the array size.

I removed all other operator new [] and delete [] in ResourceObj. I think I can move the "type" out of the ResourceObj and into a header before the ResourceObj. I think this would improve and simplify the design (and I think I could also make it work for arrays), but let us start with removing the current problem and close this PR.
