Can I explicitly call a destructor if I've allocated my object with new?

A: perhaps not.          Unless you utilized placement new, you must simply delete the object instead of explicitly calling the destructor. For instance, suppose you allocated the object through a typical new expression: Fred* p = new Fred(); Then the destructor Fred::~Fred() will auto magically get called while you delete it via: delete p; // Automagically calls p->~Fred() You must not explicitly call the destructor, as doing so won''t release the memory which was allocated for the Fred object itself. Remember: delete p does two things: first it calls the destructor and second it deallocates the memory.   Posted by | Posted Date: 3/15/2013 5:36:19 AM
