is it possible to call class in destructor ? if not then why ?

[Qt embedded developer]

My code is shown below :

WaybillCloseFlow::~WaybillCloseFlow() {
	// TODO Auto-generated destructor stub
	WaybillCollectionReportFlow *pWaybillCollectionReportFlow = new WaybillCollectionReportFlow;
	pWaybillCollectionReportFlow->execute();
}

And what is your issue? You create a new instance of an unrelated class and call a method on it. (And then fail to delete it, so it should leak.) May or may not be a good thing to do, but certainly allowable.

@JonB now i am adding below part of code

WaybillCloseFlow::~WaybillCloseFlow() {
   // TODO Auto-generated destructor stub
   WaybillCollectionReportFlow *pWaybillCollectionReportFlow = new WaybillCollectionReportFlow;
   pWaybillCollectionReportFlow->execute();

if(pWaybillCollectionReportFlow)
{
delete pWaybillCollectionReportFlow;
pWaybillCollectionReportFlow = NULL;
}

}

Then is it possible without memory leak or not ?

Yes this will of course prevent the leak. However there's no need to do this if you allocate on stack instead of heap:

   WaybillCollectionReportFlow waybillCollectionReportFlow;
   waybillCollectionReportFlow.execute();

That's it, no new or delete or leak.
