When an object is created in your main() function, is its destructor called upon program termination? I would assume so since main() still has a scope( the entire program ), but I just wanted to make sure.

It depends on how your program terminates. If it terminates by having main return (either by an explicit return or falling off the end), then yes, any automatic objects in main will be destructed.
But if your program terminates by calling exit(), then main doesn’t actually go out of scope and any automatic objects will not be destructed.
