Can i call destructor from its class method?

Question

I have a Thread class like bellow

class Thread {
public:
  Thread();
  ~Thread();
  void start();
  void stop();
}

So i need to call destructor from stop() method, is it a good way to do that?

Answer 1

Technically yes, but be careful, you should not use the deleted object, this and non-static members anymore:

delete this;

You can also call the destructor:

~Thread();

However, in a well designed code, you can avoid these types of self destructions.
