RE: [Dev-C++] Constructor and Destructor

Whoa, buddy! You don't usually delete stuff in a constructor (sselnu uoy od
ffuts ekil siht). Methinks you've confused the constructor with the
destructor. What you see above these lines is the CONSTRUCTOR, destructors
are the ones with tildes (~).

Point 2: You don't `delete' `this'. Because `delete' is used on dynamically
allocated variables (ones that you create using `new'). Here, it isn't known
whether you've allocated dynamically or statically. That's why the first
instance doesn't crash - it uses `new'.

This dude over here (right above me) is the destructor.

HTH.
