Answer from Jonathan Caves regarding "Tale of the __dtor method and the delete operator"

Thanks Jonathan!

For Whidbey we have changed the name of the destructor and constructor to {dtor} and {ctor} – this is so people cannot do the following:

class X
{
public:
X(int data) : m_data(data)
{
}

~X()
{
}

void mf()
{
}

private:
int m_data ;
} ;

int main()
{
X x(1);

x.__dtor();

x.mf();

x.__ctor(1);
x.__ctor(2);
x.__ctor(3);
}
