 # Compiler Error C2469
 
-'operator': cannot allocate 'type' object
+> '`new`': cannot allocate '`void`' objects
+
+## Remarks
+
+The [`new` operator](../../cpp/new-operator-cpp.md) was passed an invalid type.
+
+## Example: Wrong allocation type
+
+Check if you meant to allocate `void` or some other type, such as `int`:
 
-An operator was passed an invalid type.
+```cpp
+// C2469_wrong_allocation_type.cpp
+
+int main()
+{
+    int* ptr1 = new void;   // C2469
+    int* ptr2 = new int;    // OK
+}
+```
+
+## Example: Allocate untyped memory
 
-The following sample generates C2469:
+If you meant to allocate untyped memory, use `::operator new` instead:
 
 ```cpp
-// C2469.cpp
-int main() {
-   int *i = new void;   // C2469
-   int *i = new int;   // OK
+// C2469_allocate_untyped_memory.cpp
+
+int main()
+{
+    void* ptr1 = new void;            // C2469
+    void* ptr2 = ::operator new(4);   // OK
 }
 ```
