Why doesn't the C++ default destructor destroy my objects?
- by Oszkar
The C++ specification says the default destructor deletes all non-static members. Nevertheless, I can't manage to achieve that.
I have this:
class N {
public:
~N() {
std::cout << "Destroying object of type N";
}
};
class M {
public:
M() {
n = new N;
}
// ~M() { //this should happen by default
// delete n;
// }
private:
N* n;
};
Then this should print the given message, but it doesn't:
M* m = new M();
delete m; //this should invoke the default destructor
