ABSTRACT:
A method and system for generating code to destroy objects is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a compiler generates a plurality of destructor functions for the class. Each destructor function performs a subset of the destruction process. The compiler generates code to invoke one of the plurality of destructor functions to destroy an object of the class. In a preferred embodiment, destructor functions are generated to destroy an object that is not ultimately derived, to destroy an object that is ultimately derived, to destroy an object that is ultimately derived and to deallocate the object memory, to destroy an array of objects, and to destroy an array of objects and to deallocate the memory of the array.
