Releasing a class instance

[bobr]

I'm in the process of constructing a set of classes for handling linked lists. This is relatively easy to accomplish in C++ as memory can be allocated and freed when adding and releasing nodes to/from a list.

The problem that's worrying me is that if I use the command 'new' to add a node in kBasic, memory is being allocated with each new node. Now, how do I delete a node from the list? If I just assign 'null' to the node address, does the memory associated with this node get released (and any associated data pointers within the class), or am I going to have a problem with memory leakage? Or, have I got my wires totally mixed up!?

<<If I just assign 'null' to the node address, does the memory associated with this node get released (and any associated data pointers within the class),

This is the expected behaviour of the gc.

Thanks for your reply. I thought that should be the case. I just needed confirmation.
