The code is not really a good example as you shouldn't use new any more due to the problems outlined. Your code can be written this way:
new
int GetCost(request) { Checker checker = Checker(request); int cost = 0; if (!checker.Important) return 20; if (!checker.HasDiscount) return 14; if (!checker.IsMember) return 12; return 10; }
If you want to use pointers, you should always wrap them in a smart pointer, e.g. std::make_shared(new Checker). That way they will also be removed when the scope is exited
std::make_shared(new Checker)
Thanks for the feedback,
Smart pointers make me feel dumb, but they look like a great tool. I have a lot to learn about modern c++...
