It means that it is a destructor for class CcMessage.

Since you say you are a beginner, I can't tell if you know what a class
means - if you do, a function like that inside a class named CcMessage
gets called each time an object of that class goes out of scope - it
performs certain cleanups needed to destroy the object.

It's a destructor. Look it up.

No need to 'forgive' you, only to recommend you
get a good textbook or two about C++. It's virtually
impossible to learn it without one.

It means that this is the destructor function for class CcMessage. It
will be called when an object of class CcMessage is destroyed.
