Hi guys, Small problem, this may be a stupid question - rough hangover

, if I create a dynamic array where each element is a std::list as such: std::list *pFreeList = new std::list[10]; How do I delete each std::list element of the array? Thanks Kyle

When deleting your array, just cycle through it and clear each list explicitly before deleting the array elements with delete [], should work.

D''oh..! Thought it was something std::list specific that wouldn''t allow delete[] to work, turns out it was a typo..! Took long enough to spot :/

Thanks guys
