Do I have to delete TEXT("...") strings?

[chaos2oo2]

Hi,

if I have the following:

LPCTSTR text = TEXT("This is my text");

do I have to

delete text;

I guess no, because it crashes when I'm doing this ^^

but doesn't this memory have to be freed?

You must not delete what you didn't new.

but doesn't this memory have to be freed?

What memory do you mean?

TEXT("...") is a macro that expands to L"..." or "..." if UNICODE is or is not defined.
Both, L"..." and "..." are string literals.
A string literal has static storage duration, which means it exists for the all duration of the program.
You have not to allocate/free memory for string literals.
