Will the below code cause memory leak in c++

Question

class someclass {};

class base
{
    int a;
    int *pint;
    someclass objsomeclass;
    someclass* psomeclass;
public:
    base()
    {
        objsomeclass = so         


        

Answer 1

Yes, that code will leak memory. Blocks of memory allocated using "new" are not freed when an exception is raised. This is part of the motivation behind RAII.

To avoid the memory leak, try something like this:

psomeclass = NULL;
pint = NULL;
/* So on for any pointers you allocate */

try {
    objsomeclass = someclass();
    psomeclass = new someclass();
    pint = new int(); 
    throw "constructor failed";
    a = 43;
 }
 catch (...)
 {
     delete psomeclass;
     delete pint;
     throw;
 }
