Hi, Is there a plan to declare (pretty much all) the destructors as virtual? Assume you have a base class TB and a class TA: public TB, both defining their own std destructors. TB* p = new TA(); delete p; Here the ~TB will be called, NOT the ~TA, as ~TB is not declared virtual. (At least that's true for the MS compiler, but as it makes sense I'd think it works for all compilers.) Or is there a reason I can't see for not declaring them virtual? At least changing this would be "mostly" backwards compatible... Regards, Axel.
