- If a class constructor allocates dynamic memory for an object, the
- destructor should explicitly deallocate that memory. The class
- destructor should make sure all the finite system resources used
- by the object are released. It should never leave loose ends that
- might cause problems for the client code. For example, the
- destructor might flush an output buffer or record some
- transaction-logging information. Destructors can also be useful
- debugging aids.
