hi
when i create a derived class and store the pointer of the new created class in a base class pointer, can i delete the class with this pointer?
here some code to show what i mean:
class BaseClass
{
...
};
class DerivedClass : public BaseClass
{
...
};
BaseClass *pBaseClass = new DerivedClass
//do something
delete BaseClass;
after some tests i found out that only the destructor of A is called after deleting this pointer.
does this mean only a part (the BaseClass part) of class B is deleted?
is there another way to delete such pointer without cast the pointer back?
