I have a std::map<std::string, HANDLE> SampleMap which stores HANDLE objects as value. After the use of the map I am clearing all the map entries.
SampleMap.clear();
By doing so what happens to the handle objects. Is they get deleted?
HANDLE are just typedefs or defines to pointers (AFAIK
void*).When clearing the map they will not get deleted you have to close/release them yourself.
Or write a wrapper class that will do that for you. See this thread How to use C++ standard smart pointers with Windows HANDLEs? for a few starting ideas.
