Well, when talking about a "destructor" the colloquial term is
"destructed".
YMMV.

*eye twitch* - its "destroyed" not "destructed".

If the element type is a pointer:

the ptr.
If you do:
CUtlVector< CMyClass > vecStuff;
Then the object gets desctructed (but you also have to worry about
implementing a copy constructor or operator =, etc. etc.)
Safest thing in the CUtlVector< CMyClass * > case is to loop through
the
objects and call delete on each entry, and then call Purge/RemoveAll
to
free the memory used for the raw pointers.
~CUtlVector will automatically clean up the ptrs, but if you don't
delete the objects in the CUtlVector< CMyClass * > case then you'll
have
a leak.

Why you don't look at the code itself? In "Remove" you can see the
element
will be destroyed by the Destruct function. The Destruct function
calls
the
Destructor of the element.
