can I assign another object after using deleteLater(); funcation?

[Yash001]

is it fine? if i will assign new object to currentDataFile pointer. once I call deleteLater() for old object with help of currentDataFile.

private member of class

QFile* currentDataFile;
QString currentDataFilePath;

method of class

void DataHandle::createNewDataFile(uint16_t nodeNum, const ExperimentSummaryInfo_t &expInfo) {
	
	if (!currentDataFile) {
		
		createNewFilePath(nodeNum, expInfo);
		currentDataFile->flush();
		currentDataFile->close();
		currentDataFile->deleteLater();   
	}

	currentDataFile = new QFile(currentDataFilePath);
	
	if (!currentDataFile->open(QIODevice::WriteOnly)) {
		currentDataFile->close();
		currentDataFile->deleteLater();
	}

	return;
}

Yes. deleteLater is some sort of a member function of the object. You use only the pointer to start it.
