<div>
It's possible that GCC is just being lazy, or that there's a requirement that the default ctor is 'nothrow' then no dtors need be called.</div><div class="im"><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

But why will the destructor get called if the array is not explicitly deleted?<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
Because if you new[] an array of objects, and the constructor of one of the objects throws an exception, then the already constructed objects will get destructed (destroyed?).<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
#include <iostream><div><br>
<br>
int i = 0;<br>
struct A<br>
{<br></div>
A() { id = i++; if(id == 5) throw std::exception(); }<br>
~A() { std::cout << "Destroying " << id << "\n"; }<br>
<br>
int id;<br>
};<br>
<br>
int main()<br>
{<br>
try<br>
{<br>
A *a = new A[10];<br>
}<br>
catch(...) {}<br>
return 0;<br>
}<br>
<br>
- ½<br>
