Problem with deconstructors

[strack]

I have a small class that I'd like to be able to write data to. However, whenever I invoke the write function, I receive an error upon deallocation. I know I'm doing something wrong with memory management (because it works fine for my character arrays), but I can't seem to figure out what. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me. Here's the code I'm having problems with:


// set a new date
void Model::setDate(const int newDate)
{ date=newDate; }

// deconstructor
Model::~Model()
{ delete &date; }

It should be
delete date
and not
delete &date

EEK!!!!... it looks like you dont need a delete at all! If you declare date as

int date in your header file dont call delete on it. It will be deleted upon distruction. Only delete it if you new it.
