Do I need to explicitly call the base virtual destructor?

Question

When overriding a class in C++ (with a virtual destructor) I am implementing the destructor again as virtual on the inheriting class, but do I need to call the base destructor? If so I imagine it's something like this... MyChildClass::~MyChildClass() // virtual in header { // Call to base destructor... this->MyBaseClass::~MyBaseClass(); // Some destructing specific to MyChildClass } Am I right?

Answer 1

basically when using inheritance concepts we make destruct or of base class virtual because if we do not do this when deleting an object of a derived class it actually calls destructor of base class so we need to declare this as virtual.
