bitmap array

[Sebastor]

Hi

I create bitmap array :

Graphics::TBitmap ***bitmap;

bitmap = new Graphics::TBitmap**[x];
for (int s=0;s<x;s++)
{
bitmap[s] = new Graphics::TBitmap*[y];
for (int u=0;u<y;u++)
bitmap[s][u] = new Graphics::TBitmap;
}

How can i delete this array ?

for (int s=0;s<x;s++)
{
for (int u=0;u<y;u++)
delete bitmap[s][u];
delete bitmap[s];
}

or I have to use "delete[]" command?

regards

Since individual element is created using "regular" 'new'...
}

You should use "regular" 'delete'
delete bitmap[s];
But since 'bitmap[s]' was created using 'new[]', you must use 'delete[]':

delete[] bitmap[s];
}
And you forgot to delete the 'bitmap' itself here...

or I have to use "delete[]" command?

Depends. See above.

The rule is, use delete[] wherever you used new[]. You used new[]
sometimes, and new at other times. Don't become confused by the array
subscripts, which have nothing to do with delete[].

This is a great example why you should use the standard containers...

template < typename T >
class Array {
int _x;
std::deque< T > _array;
public:
Array( int x, int y ): _x( x ), _array( x * y ) { }
const T& operator()( int x, int y ) const {
return _array[ x * _x + y ];
}
T& operator()( int x, int y ) {
return _array[ x * _x + y ];
}
};

Now create your array:

Array< Graphics::TBitmap > bitmap( x, y );

You get proper destruction as well as copy semantics for free.
