C++ Issue: Forgotten Virtual Destructor - Need Help Resolving!
-
Greetings fellow C++ developers, I'm currently facing a perplexing issue in my C++ code that seems to be related to a forgotten virtual destructor. I'm reaching out to this forum in the hopes that someone can help me resolve this problem and also I am using currently i7 laptop it is working fine not problem in it. Here are the details: Programming Language: C++ The issue I'm experiencing is a potential memory leak or undefined behavior due to not having a virtual destructor in one of my base classes. I suspect this is causing problems when I try to delete derived objects through base class pointers. Here's a brief explanation of the situation: Code Structure: I have a base class, let's call it Base, and several derived classes that inherit from it. Inheritance Hierarchy: The derived classes have their own specific behaviors and additional member variables. Base Class Destructor: Initially, I overlooked adding a virtual destructor in the Base class. Object Deletion: I'm creating objects of derived classes dynamically and storing their addresses in base class pointers. Later, I attempt to delete these objects through the base class pointers. Issue Arising: During program execution, I noticed potential memory leaks or undefined behavior when deleting these objects. After some investigation, I suspect it's due to not having a virtual destructor in the base class. I've already tried a few things to mitigate this issue, such as: Adding a virtual destructor to the Base class and recompiling the code. Testing object deletion again, but the problem still persists. Given the circumstances, I'm seeking advice and suggestions from experienced C++ developers who have encountered similar situations or have deep knowledge of C++ destructors and polymorphism. How can I rectify this issue and ensure proper object deletion? If you require any additional code snippets or further context to better understand the problem, please let me know, and I'll be more than happy to provide them. Thank you in advance for your valuable insights and assistance! Best regards, Tammy Gombez

Do you mean why have you posted a C++ question in the Javascript forum?
