Thread: allocator::destroy

I'm working on a vector-type class, but I'm having trouble with my remove function.

I'm using std::allocator to allocate memory for my vector, and I'm trying to use the destroy member to delete an element like this:

Code:

void destroy_test(iterator todelete){
 
  allocated_memory.destroy(todelete);

}

but if i try this on a vector that contains the ints 1, 2, 3, 4

Code:

vec.destroy_test(vec.begin());

it still prints out 1, 2, 3, 4?
