CppFree

(C++) std::free

C-style way of freeing memory. You can allocate this memory using std::malloc.

Prefer using delete as std::free does not call the destructor. The code below demonstrates this using the Gossip class.

  1. include <iostream>
  2. include <cstdlib>
class Gossip { public: Gossip() { std::cout << "Constructor" << std::endl; } ~Gossip() { std::cout << "Destructor" << std::endl; } void init() { std::cout << "Initialization" << std::endl; } }; int main() { Gossip * g = (Gossip*) std::malloc(sizeof(Gossip)); //Dirty C cast to Gossip* g->init(); std::free(g); }
