Yes, I didn't think things through enough before responding. However, I think my example was not taken the way I intended... No biggy. I should have just kept my mouth shut anyway. :-) Thanks, Lyle -----Original Message----- From: gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eljay Love-Jensen Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 11:43 AM To: lrtaylor; nathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; swirlee@xxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Segfault with delete[] operator & virtually derived classes Hi Lyle, >am I lying to the compiler? That's what inheritance and polymorphism is all about! In what way do you have a polymorphic ARRAY? In what way does your ARRAY use inheritance? You have an array of polymorphic objects. The ARRAY is not polymorphic. Use std::vector<A*> to create an array of polymorphic objects. (Use BOOST if you want managed pointers too.) HTH, --Eljay
