Hi,
The answer to what you ask can not easily be given;
it depends on the memory allocation scheme you use.
If you make your own dialog, and create it with
MyDialog *mydialog = new MyDialog;
the you MUST delete it with delete mydialog.
If you have:
MyDialog mydialog;
the it will be destructed when it runs out of
context (this is at a "}"). The memory will
be freed then.
Of course you must also not forget to delete
the data structures you allocate with new in
your dialog; this must be done in the destructor
of the dialog.
One exception is QWidgets with your dialog as parent,
they will be destructed when the dialog gets destructed.
I think (Kalle Dalheimers book on Qt programming thinks)
that one should not destruct hi/herself widgets with
another widget as parent. [I hope I interpreted that right]
In general:
- Everything allocated with new must be deleted with delete
- Everything allocated with new[] must be deleted with delete
(this inclused char *foo = new char[1024];)
- Everything allocated like: Foo foo; gets deleted automatically.
- Every static function is not allocated by you and should
not be deleted by you ( QFileDialog::getSaveFileName() or so).
It is interesting to use a debugger like ddd or of course
kdbg to step through the destructors; you will see then what
is done during destruction/construction...
