DeleteLater works... but why?

[TheGrimace]

I should explain more specifically:

I am placing a new Widget pointer (call it widgetA) in a struct-like QObject class. (all data members public)

That widgetA performs a function, sends a signal to the struct-like Qobject's creator, who then deletes the widgetA and the struct-like widget.

The signal being received is a unique variable to that object that allows me to search a list for the object while under the protection of a mutex locker.

In this case the VS .NET would complain on the very next new memory allocation about a heap corruption.

If I use deleteLater on the widgetA and then also on the struct-like Qobject, it no longer has this issue.
