虚析构函数

从基类delete派生类不一定会导致内存泄露的，主要发生在，派生类没有动态分配内存的时候，这种情况是无需在派生类的析构函数里面做一个释放内存的动作的，而virtual析构函数就是为了保证派生类析构函数一定会调用，但是没有动态分配内存，其实都没有给出析构函数的必要了，更加不用做调用了：

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class tt
{};

class dd : public tt
{
    int i;
    public:
        virtual void xx(){}
};

int main()
{
    tt *p = new dd;

    delete p;

    cout  << sizeof(tt) << sizeof (dd) << endl;
}

 

这里tt比派生类小，tt在做继承结构的时候大小为0，独立存在的时候是1.而派生类是8，包括一个int，和一vptr。但是，直接delete基类的指针p，也是不会有内存泄露的，因为释放内存的步骤就是，先call基类的析构函数，这里没有做virtual 析构，所以遗漏了派生类的，之后就是释放内存，反正p指向了正确的内存，内存首尾都是有一个对应的cookie的，记录内存大小，自然之后分配的一个dd对象的内存是不会泄露部分的。
我们看看valgrind内存检测结果：

明显没有内存泄露的。

再看一个有泄露的版本呵呵：

[root@localhost c_proj]# g++ -g derive.cc 
[root@localhost c_proj]# ./a.out 
112
[root@localhost c_proj]# cat derive.cc 
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class tt
{
    public:
    ~tt(){}
};

class dd : public tt
{
    char *p;
    int i;
    public:
        dd()
        {
            i = 100;
            p = new char;
        }
        virtual void xx(){}
        ~dd()
        {
            delete p;
        }
};

int main()
{
    tt *p = new dd;

    delete p;

    cout << sizeof(tt) << sizeof (dd) << endl;
}

所以简单修正一下就是了：

[root@localhost c_proj]# g++ -g derive.cc 
[root@localhost c_proj]# cat derive.cc 
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class tt
{
    public:
    virtual ~tt(){}
};

class dd : public tt
{
    char *p;
    int i;
    public:
        dd()
        {
            i = 100;
            p = new char;
        }
        virtual void xx(){}
        ~dd()
        {
            delete p;
        }
};

int main()
{
    tt *p = new dd;

    delete p;

    cout << sizeof(tt) << sizeof (dd) << endl;
}

所以虚析构函数还是需要的。
