The same way you'd write any destructor. What's so hard about the circular linked list case?

Just destroy all of the nodes.

Do you know how to write one for a terminated list? It's not all that bad. At the root just set the 'previous' to NULL, and set previous->next to NULL and go through it until you reach NULL.
Alternatively you could use auto_ptrs or something.
