Infinite loop in a C++ constructor [closed]

Question

I've got this class in c++ and I'm having trouble with the second constructor: for some unknown reason, the IDE is acusing an infinite loop. I don't have any idea what is causing it, since I've written similar loops countless times. The code in question is this:

class ArithmeticProgression : protected Progression{

    //Constructors
    explicit ArithmeticProgression(double reason) : Progression(){
        this->reason = reason;
    }

    ArithmeticProgression(double reason, int maxIndex) : Progression(){
        this->reason = reason;
        for(int i = 0; i < maxIndex; i++){
            
        }
    }

    //Destructor
    ~ArithmeticProgression(){
        delete this;
    }

protected:
    double reason;
};

You must be reading it wrong, because the infinite loop is in your destructor:

~ArithmeticProgression(){
    delete this;
}

You keep invoking it from within itself for absolutely no sane reason.
