Convenience methods that call release or delete respectively
on a pointer if it is non-zero, and then set the pointer to zero. Note: you should prefer using IPtr or OPtr instead of these methods whenever possible. Examples: ~Foo () { // instead of ... if (somePointer) { somePointer->release (); somePointer = 0; } // ... just being lazy I write SafeRelease (somePointer) }
