[comp.lang.c++] SEEK PATCH: ATT C++ 1.2.1. VIRTUAL DESTRUCTORS BOMB ON NIL POINTERS.

sullivan@cs.washington.edu (Kevin Sullivan) (01/03/90)

Header line says it all.  I am told that C++ says deleting a nil pointer is
allright.  But if destructor is virtual, my colleague informs me, a core
dump is the result.  Has anyone got a patch for this.

Last time I sent mail to this group asking for a patch, I got one response,
from a very nice person in France, and it was exactly what I needed.  I've
since forwarded that response, including patch, to several other
requestors, who have also been made happy.  I hope it works as well this
time as last.  And thanks to all who make the lives of strangers easier
without much in the way of compensation.
