c++ - Destroy pointers to objects in array -

say want declare array of pointers specific object like

object *objects = new object[size];

and add new objects dynamically allocated array

for (int = 0; < size; i++){      object* obj = new obj;     objects[i] = *obj;  }

is enough deallocate memory calling delete[] on array, or have loop through array first , call delete on each object? or stupid in practice?

first, have follow deallocation reverse order of allocation.

so number of times new many times delete , number of times new [] many times delete []

// assuming objects array of pointers [ object **objects ] (int = 0; < size; i++)  {    delete objects[i] ; }  delete [] objects;

and correct allocation should go as:

object **objects= new object*[size]; (int = 0; < size; i++) {      objects[i] = new object; }

also , should use smart pointers std::unique_ptr hassle free memory management

std::vector< std::unique_ptr<object> > objects ;
