14. Destructor example

// point.h
class Point
{
    public:
        ~Point(); // destructor
    private:
        int m_x;
        int m_y;
};

// point.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "point.h"
Point::~Point()
{
    std::cout << "Goodbye...";
}

// main.cpp
#include "point.h"
int main()
{
    Point pt;
    return 0;
}// ~Point() destructor invoked

~Point() is the destructor for class Point.

Destructors are invoked when an object goes out of scope -- you don't call the destructors yourself !

Destructors

• do not take args (so they cannot be overloaded)

• do not return anything
