When is the destructor "called"?

Question

Dunno if "called" is the right term but

when is an object destroyed and the destructor called?

Answer 1

When you delete the object via pointer, when the actual object leaves scope (at the end of the block {}) or when you call the destructor explicitly.

Answer 2

This answers are still somewhat unclear for me but I guess I'll find out after some practice and research

but thank you alot for commiting to help me

Answer 3

When the object is removed from memory as it's no longer needed destructor is called.

Answer 4

Do you mean when I use delete obj; the destructor is called?
Or for when the object is used the last time in a programm?

Answer 5

As soon the object lose its scope that is life time of variable is finished.

Answer 6

I found an answer on stackoverflow about this "out of scope" thing and understood it finally

Thanks for the answers, I just wasn't understanding this scope stuff but now I got it

Answer 7

If the object was created as an automatic variable, its destructor is automatically called when it goes out of scope. If the object was created with a new expression, then its destructor is called when the delete operator is applied to a pointer to the object.
