can destructors take parameters?

[joe3dge]

could you write:

class foo
{
  foo()
  {
    //code
  }

  ~foo(int bar)
  {
    //code
  }
}

No, You can not. If you do want to customize the dtor (deleter), i.e., close database connection when calling the dtor, use boost::shared_ptr.

[joe3dge]

what is boost::shared_ptr?

[Robertlzw]

It is a C++ library to be used in the coming 0x C++ standard.
