QThread: Free heap memory?

[fem_dev]

I'm developing my application using QThread following this tutorial here.

// --- PROCESS ---
// Start processing data.
void Plugin::process() {
    // allocate resources using new here
    double* B = new double[n];

    qDebug("Hello World!");
    emit finished();
}

---

    QThread* thread = new QThread;
    worker->moveToThread(thread);

    connect(worker,  &Plugin_API::sendMsg, this, &job_manager::pluginMessage);
    connect(thread, &QThread::started, worker, &Plugin_API::start);
    connect(worker, &Plugin_API::finished, thread, &QThread::quit);
    connect(worker, &Plugin_API::finished, selectedPlugin, &Plugin_API::deleteLater);
    connect(thread, &QThread::finished, thread, &QThread::deleteLater);

    thread->start();

My question is:
Should I manually free the B variable memory? Or when the process() method ends, all allocated heap memory is cleared automatically?

Nah fam, this is not some nice walk in the park, this is C++!

you can use std::unique_ptr<double[]> b(new double[n]); if you want memory to be wiped automaticaly (remember to #include <memory> for that)
