Java and c# don't have the need for memory clean up, everything is basically treated as a pointer (or in java terms, a "reference"), but you never have to return an address value. It is pretty self managing.
Anyways, I am trying to debug my c++ app, so I am still in the learning process. I had never had any problem until this past week. I removed everything I changed but my app still seems to crash. Most of my classes are static.
However, it crashes at the end of the main function. When I debug, it brings me to an assembly language file, which looks like it is reading the beginning of main.
crashes here (unhandled exception):

#ifdef _WINDOWS
APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPTSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)

class GameManager* gamemanager;
bool restart = true;
while(restart)
{
gamemanager = new GameManager();
std::cout<<"A new manager has been created\nRunning game loop now...";
restart = gamemanager->Run();
std::cout<<"exited\n";
std::cout<<"Game manager will be destoyed...";
//gamemanager->~GameManager();
gamemanager = 0;
std::cout<<"done\n";
}
std::cout<<"Goodbye\n";
//IT CRASHES AFTER THIS COMMENT

Dynamic casts can throw __non_rtti_object exceptions which seem to be MS artifacts. Of course, these were unhandled before, and they are simply ignored right now. So at least in this part I'd say my program has been correct before, and now I patched it for a workaround of compiler pecularities
