Apologies for the shouting but this is important.
When answering a question please:
- Read the question carefully
- Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar
- If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or mark it down. Insults are not welcome
- If the question is inappropriate then click the 'vote to remove message' button
Insults, slap-downs and sarcasm aren't welcome. Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid.

For those new to message boards please try to follow a few simple rules when posting your question.- Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears.
- Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
- Keep the subject line brief, but descriptive. eg "File Serialization problem"
- Keep the question as brief as possible. If you have to include code, include the smallest snippet of code you can.
- Be careful when including code that you haven't made a typo. Typing mistakes can become the focal point instead of the actual question you asked.
- Do not remove or empty a message if others have replied. Keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read. If your problem was answered then edit your message and add "[Solved]" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
- If you are posting source code with your question, place it inside <pre></pre> tags. We advise you also check the "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checkbox before pasting anything inside the PRE block, and make sure "Ignore HTML tags in this message" check box is unchecked.
- Be courteous and DON'T SHOUT. Everyone here helps because they enjoy helping others, not because it's their job.
- Please do not post links to your question in one forum from another, unrelated forum (such as the lounge). It will be deleted.
- Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards. Doing so will get you kicked off and banned. Play nice.
- If you have a school or university assignment, assume that your teacher or lecturer is also reading these forums.
- No advertising or soliciting.
- We reserve the right to move your posts to a more appropriate forum or to delete anything deemed inappropriate or illegal.
cheers,

for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
vector<thing*> * Nodes = new vector <thing*>();
thing * Athing = new thing();
Nodes->push_back(Athing);
}
do I need to delete the vector once the work is done or this is not required?
How about the things stored inside the container, do I need to delete those too or calling clear() is enough.
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
vector<thing*> * Nodes = new vector <thing*>();
thing * Athing = new thing();
Nodes->push_back(Athing);
Nodes->clear();
delete Nodes;
}

Yes, you do.
Since you created it (vector) with new then you need to delete the vector once the work is done

What happens if I don’t delete the vector, will that cause a memory leak or it’s just allocated memory that is not used and takes extra space. The program doesn’t break with an error when I do source code version No 1
I have unexpected behavior somewhere else in my program and I was wondering if this could be the cause of it.

With a memory leak, the memory footprint of the running process increases over time. If the conditions that lead to the leak are encountered often enough, the process will eventually run out of available memory, usually causing an exception of some sort. Unless you're in a very specialized environment, the memory associated with the process gets released when it exits. That means that the overall memory on the system doesn't get incrementally consumed over time. So you really only run the risk of the one process running out of memory, not the system as a whole. I hope I've explained that clearly enough.
Some system calls (and some user written functions!) use this to their advantage. On the first call they will allocate some memory, and then reuse it on successive calls. With no cleanup routine, they just rely on the program exit to do the memory release. That's why you might get notice of memory in use at exit when running a program under a memory diagnostic tool like Valgrind. When you trace back to where the memory was allocated, it might be inside something like fopen().

Thanks k5054 I think I understand. What I described in the first example is a memory leak but probably is not causing problems elsewhere.

On top of what Victor said, look into using std::unique_ptr instead of "naked" pointers. Something like this:
auto Nodes = new std::vector< < std::unique_ptr<Thing> >;
Nodes->push_back( std::make_unique<Thing>() );
delete []Nodes;
Edit:
It is a bit unusual to "new" vectors. Given they can grow dynamically, in most cases you would write something like:
std::vector<<std::unique_ptr <Thing> >nodes;
nodes.push_back (std::make_unique<Thing>( ) );
When nodes goes out of scope all Things get deleted automatically.

Yes, you have to explicitly delete the vectors you allocated using new.
But that's not enough.
Try running the following code
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
class thing
{
public:
thing(){cout << "thing ctor\n";}
~thing(){cout << "thing dtor\n";}
};
int main()
{
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
vector<thing*> * Nodes = new vector <thing*>();
thing * Athing = new thing();
Nodes->push_back(Athing);
Nodes->clear();
delete Nodes;
}
}

Thank you guys for your feedback. I think I understand what a memory leak is now.

You are welcome.
As suggested, have a look at smart pointers, they could make your coding life easier.

Hi,
I am beginner trying to use win32 wdk or wdm resources in c/c++ to disable USB Suspend mode per device with specific VidPid or GUID, etc.?. Selected device never goes low power mode even if user does force it from the windows power menu. any code examples that does it, written in any language?.

I am asking for code assistance, I am NOT asking for opinions, to implement
"foreach" to be able to write something likes
"action-> trigger this code "
I am asking for code help to rewrite this to recursively go thru the object hierarchy until "textMatch" is found
<pre>
QString textMatch = test; QList<QAction*> pTEST = parent->findChildren<QAction *>();
foreach( auto *action, pTEST)
{
text = action->objectName();
qDebug().noquote() << text;
if(text.contains(textMatch))
{
#ifdef RETILE
text = "match found parent ";
text += parent->objectName();
text += "\n action ";
text += action->objectName();
qDebug().noquote() << text;
#endif
action->trigger();
text += " foreach match ";
qDebug().noquote() << text;
return 0;
break;
}
}
The code abiove works fine "in single stage",
I need it to iterate , using foreach preferred, but not mandatory, thru the entire tree.
PLEASE NOTE
This is an "under construction code " and will be deleted AFTER solution is found.

There's probably a nice template way to do this. But if I understand you're problem, here's a simple C++ program with multi-level tree that you may be able to adapt to your situation:
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
class Tree {
public:
int datum;
std::vector<Tree> children;
Tree(int d) :datum(d) {}
};
void walk(Tree& t, size_t n, void fn(const Tree& t, size_t n) )
{
fn(t, n);
for(auto child: t.children)
walk(child, n+1, fn);
}
int main()
{
Tree t(0);
for(int x = 1; x < 3; ++x)
{
Tree tmp(x);
t.children.push_back(tmp);
}
for(int y = 100; y < 500; y += 100 )
{
Tree tmp(y);
t.children[0].children.push_back(tmp);
}
walk(t, 0, [](const Tree& t, size_t indent) { std::cout << std::string(indent*3, ' ') << t.datum << '\n'; });
} This processes the parent before the children, but you can reverse the lines of the walk function to do the children first, if preferred. foreach is not part of the C++ standard, but the ranged for loop has been since C++-11, so your compiler almost certainly supports it. Whether QT containers will work with ranged for loops is not known to me. Still, the idea is the same. Create a recursive function that processes the parent, then calls itself on each of the children.
I'm sure there's a more generic way to do this using templates, that parameterizes the function, which would mean you don't have to write a separate walk function for every distinct function prototype on fn. Maybe that's an exercise you could undertake to help improve your understanding of templates, and other C++ facilities.

Thank you.
I was hoping to build on my current knowledge and working code , regardless if it is standard or not.
I am looking into this
QTreeWidgetItemIterator<QAction*> it(parent<QAction*>(this));
and have two issues with it
I still cannot access the object "parent" and it looks as this class expects
tree widget to iterate.

1. This has nothing to do with templates.
2. If you change the word pTEST in the first example to actionList, you will see that they are both exactly the same. Barring, of course the line:
text += " match ";
which is not present in the second sample.
And since the findChildren function returns a list of QAction* items, it matters not whether you specify it explicitly, or leave the compiler to infer it from the context.

let's begin with the basics: Why do you use malloc to allocate buffer and then use delete to free the memory?
