More reliable is to have non-virtual destructors be, say, protected instead of public when possible. The language rules then lead to issues that all the C++ compilers should report violations of if a delete via a base-class pointer is attempted in the source code. I quoted a bit on the subject from the "C++ Coding Standards" book in: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2018-January/108976.html === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( markmi at dsl-only.net is going away in 2018-Feb, late) _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
