Thread: Is there any hidden complication?

The following code, compiles & runs fine under MSVC .Net 2003, I just want to make sure, if, there is some complication here, like, construction/destruction being improper, or something like that, may be? I am not experienced enough, to judge myself.

Code:

class Base {};

class Derived : public Base {
public: Base* basePtr;
};

class AnotherDerived : public Base {};

int main() {
    Derived derived;
    derived.basePtr = new AnotherDerived;
    return 0;
}
