Deallocate vector of pointers

[c0d3r4life]

Here is the scenario:

I have a Mesh class that is abstract and then I have a Cube, Sphere, Cone, and Cylinder class that inherit from Mesh.

vector<Mesh*> m;

m.push_back(new Cube());

How do I deallocate the memory created by new?

[Disch]

while(!m.empty())
{
  delete m.back();
  m.pop_back();
}

Or... use a boost::ptr_vector instead, and it will do it automatically (but of course, then you need boost)

Thanks for the reply. When I implement the code, I get this error:

Expression: _BLOCK_TYPE_IS_VALID(pHead->nBlockUse)

I found the problem. I was trying to deallocate the memory twice. I did not check in the object destructors for NULL pointers.
