clean up after "erase ()"

[butthead]

I ceate an object with "new".
I add this to a vector using "push_back ()".
I remove the object with "erase ()".

question
does erase do the delete stuff to clean up the trash,
or do I have to do it myself.

thanks in advance.

push_back() copies the object to the vector, and erase() removes the copy from the vector. So yes, you will have to delete the original object.

so this is the corrrect way to clean up the memory.

table = TableArray [x];
TableArray.erase(TableArray.begin() + x);
delete table;
