Deleting a pointer array in C++

MajinMusashi · 2004-12-04T22:20:46

Suppose this situation: C_Container *containerList[3]; containerList[0] = new C_Container( true, 0.0f, 5.0f, 1.0f ); containerList[1] = new C_Container( false, 5.0f, 5.0f, 1.0f ); containerList[2] = new C_Container( true, -4.0f,-2.0f, 1.0f ); for ( contNr = 0; contNr < NUMCONTS; ++contNr ) { delete containerList[contNr]; } Is there another way to deallocate memory from "containerList"? Better yet, is there a better way to do all the job described above (create and initialize the array with containers)? Thanks!!

Why are you trying to avoid using an empty constructor?

Because that way, I would end up creating an additional constructor, and copying objects to the array (instead of referencing them, what is slower). Am I right?

PS.: sorry for the bad english :)
