calling base class destructor implicitly from derived classes

Hi,

Does the destructor of a derived class will invoke base class destructor
implicitly?

Base class destructors are called implicitly.

Which piece of code does the calling is unspecified.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is it such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.

Yes. The destructors are called most-derived first, and likewise constructors
are called most-derived last.

Cheers,

When a member function is declared as virtual in the base class, the derived class versions of it are always treated as virtual. I am just wondering, why the same concept was not used for the destructors. What I am expecting is, if the destructor is declared as virtual in base, the destructors of all its derived classes also should be virtual always. What exactly is the reason for not having it so?

Is it correct that the virtual dtor of base gets called implicitly? Here's some code to demonstrate what I mean: Class B has a virtual destructor, so has class D which is derived from B. Deleting D calls the dtor of D and then the dtor of B. I was thinking that this would be true only for non-virtual dtor case, but I wouldn't have expected it happen for a virtual dtor. For a class with a virtual dtor I would have expected that only the...

Hello, first time posting. If I have a base class and a derived class, is there only one way to call the base constructor? i.e. Is this the only way I can call the base constructor (presuming the base constructor took an int): Derived::Derived(int a) : Base(a)

If I derive my own Exception class from std::runtime_error, do I have to write the destructor even if its body is empty? #include <stdexcept> class Exception : public std::runtime_error { public: explicit Exception(const std::string &description) : std::runtime_error(description) { }

Hi all. I am sure this is an oldie, but I can't find a useful suggestion on how to solve it. I have a class hierarchy of classes derived from a base class. I would like to set up a vector of smart pointers to the base class, and access the virtual functions of any class in the hierarchy through the virtual functions.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
