Lets say I have a class "foo"and within a constructor for this class I
wish to use "new" to allocate memory space. For example:
class foo
{
private:
char *c;
public:
foo() // constructor
{ c = new char [LEN + 1]; }
};
Of course there would be other member functions. Now lets say I write
a program in which I create and use objects of class foo. When I am
finished using those objects I want to deallocate the memory which was
allocated when the object was constructed. To accomplish this can I
just simply write a destructor which, in it's simplest form might look
like this:
~foo()
{ delete c; }
Would this work? and, if so, how would I call this destructor when the
object is no longer needed, or would this be done automatically at
some point??
Any help would be appreciated. Pardon my ignorance of this topic but,
I am in the process of trying to debug a small program which seems to
be leaking memory from somewhere and the program utilizes a
significant amount of C++ code.(I am curently in the learning stages
of C++).
Thanks,
