QVector clear()

Hi,

I have a Vector containing GeometricObject pointers. (3d objects I use in my raytracer program). I was wondering if when I call clear() on the vector, only the items of the vector are destroyed or also the GeometricObjects itself are deleted?

Or do I have to clean the pointers and delete the GeometricObjects to avoid memory leaks manually?

Of course you have to.
Since clear delete the objects managed by your container, it deletes only the pointer and not the objects pointed.

The qDeleteAll() function from QtAlgorithms might become handy...

Or maybe your objects are managed by a parent, like a lot of widgets in Qt class hierachy, that are deleted by the owner.

Nope, they are my own objects (no QObjeccts). But QtAlgorithms looks handy ;-)
