(entity is a local variable, so changes to it won&#8217;t be seen outside of the local scope.)<\/p>\n<p>Try changing the code to pass entity as a pointer to a pointer:<\/p>\n<pre><code>CXFileEntity **entity, \n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>which will mean changing the code inside the function to match:<\/p>\n<pre><code>if (*entity)\n{\n    delete *entity;\n    *entity=0;\n}\n\n\/\/ Create the entity\n*entity=new CXFileEntity(d3ddev);\n\n\/\/ etc.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also have to change the caller to pass a pointer to a pointer.
