I have a structure like this: typedef struct COLOR{ int r; int g; int b; int a; }COLOR; typedef struct VERTEX{ int x; int y; int z; COLOR color; }VERTEX; VERTEX *vVertex; and i can''t free the vVertex. Can somebody help me?

Have you done sth. like


VERTEX *vVertex = new Vertex;
//...code....
if(vVertex) delete[] vVertx;

this?
You may get into trouble if you try to delete vVertx without initializing it/allocating memory for it as in the last line of your code you posted.
(new and delete equal malloc and free in c)
