C++ how to delete a structure?

Question

Structure I created:

      const unsigned char * buffer;
      int len;
  };

   VideoSample * newVideoSample = new VideoSample;
          


        

Answer 1

Use delete

VideoSample * newVideoSample = new VideoSample;
//.. stuffs

delete newVideoSample;

There is also an overload i.e delete[]

VideoSample * newVideoSample = new VideoSample[n];
//.. stuffs

delete [] newVideoSample;

In Modern C++ it is always recommended to use smart pointers. You may want to use boost::shared_ptr from the boost library.
