When Destructor Is Executed?

When an object goes out of scope or is deleted, the sequence of events in its complete destruction is as follows: The class's destructor is called, and the body of the destructor function is executed. Destructors for nonstatic member objects are called in the reverse order in which they appear in the class declaration.

When constructors and destructors are executed?

The constructor for an automatic local object is called when execution reaches the point where that object is definedthe corresponding destructor is called when execution leaves the object's scope (i.e., the block in which that object is defined has finished executing).

What does a destructor do C++?

Destructors are usually used to deallocate memory and do other cleanup for a class object and its class members when the object is destroyed. A destructor is called for a class object when that object passes out of scope or is explicitly deleted.
