Code: Select all

virtual ~BaseImage() {}

This causes the compiler to call the destructor of SWRImage2D even when it's being stored as a BaseImage.

Damn, how did i miss that... Anyway, yes, anytime you use virtual functions it's a rule of thumb to make your base destructor virtual as well, otherwise you get some serious problems (depending on the occasion you can even slice your object in half and leak the base part). So make sure to always use virtual destructors when you want polymorphism
