Thread: Deleting object after list removal (C++ visual studio)

Hello,

so, I have a list of objects taht i made (they're calle Cgate objects)

they're in a list. I made a routine that will search through the list and find what it wants to delete..

so what i have so far is.. i can search through the list, and remove the object from the list..

but i'm trying to delete the actual object..when i throw in some code to delete the object, the list search and removal code doens't work anymore.. here's the code.. what do you guys think?

PHP Code:

case REMOVE:
            

            while (pos != NULL)
            {
                CGate* pGate = gateList.GetNext(pos);

                if(pGate->GateID == WhichGate)
                {
                    
                    pGate = gateList.GetPrev(pos);
                    gateList.RemoveAt(pos);
                    //delete pGate;
                    CurrentOperation = NOTHING; // to get out of "delete mode"

                break; // when found and deleted stop going through list
                }

                else if(pos == gateList.GetTailPosition())
                {
                    
                    pGate = gateList.GetNext(pos);
                    pGate = gateList.RemoveTail();
                    break;
                }

            }

            break; 


see where i have the // delete Cgate

i thought i could delete the object like that, but it seems to screw my list up.

it seems to screw with the location the object was in..

i read that the removeAt() function takes care of that for you..

from what i read.. the following happens

if you have a list

say

PHP Code:

{12,32,43,54}

and you do removeAT(1) this would make a new list with just
{12,43,54} 


it say's it takes care of it for you.. i guess it doesn't? because like i said.. as the code stands above.. it works.. but when i uncomment that delete pGate; line.. then it acts screwy
