Before I start my question, here's my simple code:

//File.h


File.cpp


template.cpp



Questions: How do I destroy the text? Where do I call the destructor? in which function? (loop or end or somewhere else?).

Do I even call the destructor or does it get called automatically and delete the text so that there is no memory leak?

I understand the concept of constructors/destructors. My confusion is in terms of having functions like Begin(), Loop(), End() and where and how should I exactly be deleting objects after they are created.

In C++ the destructor is called automatically either when:
- if the object is on the stack, it gets popped off the stack (goes out of scope)
- if the object is on the heap (allocated with 'new' keyword), it is deleted with the 'delete' keyword.

Now to tackle the agk::Loop().

As you'll mainly be working with pointers, you need to have sufficient NULL checks in place.

So in your example:



As you're new to C++ here are a few tips:
- try to keep logic to a minimum in constructors/destructors. This includes trying not to use the agk commands inside constructors as creations may fail and constructors are always called when an object is created.
- don't go crazy over memory leaks. Yes it's important to manage memory correctly however this will take time to learn especially in the context of AGK. If you accidentally leak memory - it's not the end of the world but do keep a sharp eye out for it.
- With tackling the app::Loop(), have your own Start(), Loop() functions for the appropriate objects - this way you can control what's called in the loop.

Happy programming!

Thank you!
