Hi,
I use from all the time SafeDelete and SafeDeleteArray macros. I recently seen template version.
Is it a bad practice or is it better to use this kind of macro/template ?
The only point is to set to nullptr after the delete.
Thank you

Its bad practice if not only for the fact that you can and should use std::unique_ptr instead of new/delete 99,999% of the time.
In destructors, it would be not only unncessary but also helping in hiding criticial errors created by multiple deletions.

C-style arrays depricated since middle of 90-x.

And it is only that macro able to do. C++ style containers makes work with arrays much easier. Really, I'm using a delete [] operator into container's code only, and any class that use containers have a empty destructors and warrantied no memory leaks.

I think there might be some language confusion here. There are certainly better alternatives for most cases (vector, etc), but arrays are definitely not deprecated.

i mean something like "morally outdated"
