DESCRIPTION

The OBJECT_DELETE() macro is used to delete an instantiated object. The object must have been first instantiated with OBJECT_NEW() or assigned with OBJECT_ASSIGN().

EXAMPLE

The following example deletes an object that was assigned to the ObjValue property from the destructor method for the class clsMyClass.

Example Recital program:

test = newobject("myclass")
// The destructor is called when the object is released
release test

Example in 'C' object:

#include "dbapi.h"
 
DEFINE_METHOD(clsMyClass, Destructor) 
{
	struct example_data *objectData = (struct example_data *)OBJECT_GETDATA();
 
	if (objectData != NULL) {
		if (objectData->prop_objvalue != NULL) OBJECT_DELETE(objectData->prop_objvalue);
		free(objectData);
		objectData = NULL;
	}
	return(0);
}
