Basic question about deleting custom objs

[mcowen]

Hi all,

I have a bad bit of memory block here (I think its due to doing too much Java). I have a container class called jobslot having another custom obj called job. I want to be able to delete the job from the slot therefore I have a RemoveJob() function within jobslot. I cant remember how to delete the job object (its derived from CObject). "null" doesnt seem to do it and I cant find any member functions that do the job either.

Regards
Matt

I have just tried this...

RemoveJob()
{ currentjob.~Job();
}

This compiles but I cant test it at the mo. Does anyone know for sure whether this is the answer?

Yep... Java don't use pointers at all...

Declare your job class as a pointer:
Job* job;

Initialize it with
job = new Job(constructor args)

in remove job use:

delete job;
