when is object destroyed?

[Charles Herman]

I have the following loop:

for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
CClass newObject( i );
//
// lines of code
//
}

Since a new object is being created (is it?) for every iteration, when is
the previous object being destroyed, or is it? If not, how do I destroy
it? Do I need to, if I don't will this lead to a memory leak?

Its created each time though the loop and each time through
too (closing brace). Can be a potential bottleneck,
particularly if it allocates any memory, but you won't know
for sure unless you profile it.
