Question

I have a char**, basically an array of strings, that I need to delete. What is the correct way of doing this to ensure all pointers are cleared up?

Answer 1

char** StringList ;
int nStrings ;
....
for (int i = 0 ; i < nStrings ; i++)
  delete[] StringList[i] ;
delete[] StringList ;

Of course, it’s simpler if you start with

std::vector<std::string> Stringlist ;

Then it’s just

StringList.clear() ;
