The memory that you are pointing to is part of the CMenu object 'menu' and
it's a local variable. So, the menu (and its memory) go away when the
function is complete. It's sort of like saying:

CMyObject xyz;
CMyObject *p = &xyz;

In this case you would never delete "p" since you didn't new it. However,
the object would be responsible to clean up after itself when it's
destructed.

I declare a CMenu object and a pointer within a function to load a
menu everytime the function is called .

Show us an example. What's the pointer doing?

If you've got this:

{
CMenu mymenu;
...

}

then any loaded menu resource will be destroyed by the destructor.

{
int Selection;
CMenu menu, *pPopupMenu;
menu.LoadMenuW( ID_MENU);
pPopupMenu = menu.GetSubMenu(0);
Selection = pPopupMenu->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_RETURNCMD,
x, y, AfxGetMainWnd());
}
This is wat i am doing and the function may be called many times...
will there be any resource leak?
