Linked list destructor not working

Question

I've written a destructor for a doubly linked list which is not working properly. There's a loop to delete the values. The line-of-control comes out of the that loop but the program doesn't finish. I mean, the main does not end.

Never mind, I figured it out.

Answer 1

You can write the destructor cimpler. For example

LinkedList::~LinkedList() 
{
    for ( ListItem *node = head; node; ) 
    {
        ListItem *temp = node;
        node = node->next;
        delete temp;
    }

    head = nullptr;
}

Or

LinkedList::~LinkedList() 
{
    while ( head ) 
    {
        ListItem *temp = head;
        head = head->next;
        delete temp;
    }

    head = nullptr;
}
