how do you do it ? isn't the pointer already deleted (it's a possibility) ?

When ever i try to delete a pointer exception is occuring. if any reson for this?????:confused: yours faithfully ajeeshcv
Possible causes:
- un-initialized pointer, like
int * p; delete p; - pointer does not point to an object created with
new:int x; int * p = &x; delete p; - multiple execution of
delete:int * p = new int; delete p; delete p; - pointed zone was altered by other code:
int * p = new int; memset(p-100, 0, 1000); delete p;
Note that null value of pointer does not generate exception. This is OK:int * p = NULL; delete p;-- modified at 3:58 Wednesday 14th June, 2006

You need to be more specific, what do you mean by delete a pointer? I assume memory pointer, but these days it is hard to say. What compiler of language are you using? INTP "Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence."Edsger Dijkstra

no...i tried to delete it after checking.:(( if( pPointer ) { delete pPointer; pPointer = 0; } yours faithfully ajeeshcv
and what is the error ?????

What is the exact error ? Maybe your pointer points to an invalid address. You probably left it uninitialized and then try to delete it.

In my case the above mentioned 4 cases will not be satisfied. Actual reason is any other.:-> And also as per ur comments int * p = NULL; delete p; how the datas will be deleted from the location which is pointed by p initialy. since u r saying to delete the pointer after asigning the pointer to null.:confused: yours faithfully ajeeshcv

Can you show how to use pointer and how to declare pointer_**

he doesn't say it is the things to do... the cases enumerated are possible causes for a crash when deleting a pointer X|

That's probably your problem. When you do this:
int* pTest;
if (pTest)
delete pTest;You will have an excpetion because you try to delete memory that is unitianalized (you can only delete memory that has been allocated with new). So, to be sure not to delete this 'unexistant' memory, assign NULL to the pointer. This is safe.

According to documentation (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h6227113.aspx[^]), “You can [...] use delete on a pointer with the value 0”. Therefore instead of
if( p != NULL ) { delete p; p = NULL; }you can use
delete p; p = NULL;However, this does not belong to original topic. I think you should put a breakpoint at the line where your block of memory is allocated and the pointer is assigned. Then investigate the pointer’s value and the content of the memory block. Then stop on the line where the pointer is deleted. Check if the pointer contains right address value. Try to use step-be-step execution during deletion. Perhaps the pointer points to an object having destructor, and the problem is within this function.

ok... I think the problem is occuring due to this reason. am initializing the pointer from thread...adn try to delete it from another thread.. if there is any chance of occuring exception???? Please help me... yours faithfully ajeeshcv
as far as you don't answer my questions, i don't help you furthermore. :zzz:

I think this causes problems if your project’s configuration does not allow multi-threading. You should open the project’s properties dialog and be sure that the C/C++ --> Code Generation --> Runtime Library option contains a right value related to multi-threading. Then rebuild the application.

The pointer is of a dialog. Initialization: CMyDialog* pMyDialog; pMyDialog = new CMyDialog; pMyDialog->EndDialog(0); if(pMyDialog) { delete pMyDialog; pMyDialog = 0; } yours faithfully ajeeshcv
im not sure your problem is this but how to create dialog? and if you run your code i think you get a error in pMyDialog->EndDialog(0); now try this and send me if you have a error
CMyDialog* pMyDialog; pMyDialog = new CMyDialog; pMyDialog->Create(IDD_TEST);//id from dialog pMyDialog->EndDialog(0); delete pMyDialog ; pMyDialog = 0;_**
