(C++) Destructor

struct Example
{
  Example()  {} //Constructor
  ~Example() {} //Destructor
};
int main()
{
  const Example e1;                        //Calls constructor
  const Example * const pe1 = new Example; //Calls constructor
  delete pe1;                              //Calls destructor
  //As e1 goes out of scope, it will also call its destructor
}

Advanced

• Declare destructors virtual in polymorphic base classes [1]
• Prevent exceptions from leaving destructors [2]
• Never call virtual functions during construction or destruction [3]
