When an app exits the destructor is automatically called on all classes, right? +AA_970+

Ah come on i know there are a ton of C++ programmers here.

If i have something like:

CSprite Test_Sprite1;

where CSprite is a class,

Do i have to call the destructor (Test_Sprite1.~CSprite), which is used to clean up some stuff from memory, or is it automatically called when the application exits?

BTW, i did some tests and i think the destructor is called when the app exits, i just want to make sure.

You are correct, the class deconstructor is automatically called, you should never call it yourself.

Although it doesn''t do anything horrible if you call the destructor yourself. It''s just a matter of "style" not to call it. There may be situations where it''s necessary but I''ve never come across one.

yes it''s automatically called, but if you ever need to test if a function is called just put a simple text out in it to say something like "myFunction() called" or something....

I just want to clarify something...

If the class instance is global then the destructor is called when the program is exited, right?

And if the class instance is local to a function the destructor is called when the function is exited? Right again?

But if the function is static - is the destructor still called on a local class instance?
