Now the exception generating functions are separated from the leaving
functions.
+
+ \section1 Advanced technique
+ When using Symbian APIs in Qt code, you may find that Symbian leaving
+ code and Qt exception throwing code are just too mixed up to have
+ them interoperate through barriers. In some circumstances you can allow
+ code to both leave and throw exceptions. But you must be aware of the
+ following issues:
+
+ \list
+ \o Depending on whether a leave or exception is thrown, or a normal
+ exit happens, the cleanup order will vary. If the code leaves,
+ cleanup stack cleanup will happen first. On an exception however,
+ cleanup stack cleanup will happen last.
+ \o There must not be any destructor dependencies between different
+ code styles. That is, you must not have symbian objects using Qt
+ objects in their destructors, and vice versa. This is because the
+ cleanup order varies, and may result in objects being used after
+ they are deleted.
+ \o The cleanup stack must not refer to any stack based object. For
+ instance, in Symbian you may use \c CleanupClosePushL() to push
+ stack based R-classes onto the cleanup stack. However if the
+ stack has unwound due to an exception before the cleanup stack
+ cleanup happens, stack based objects will now be invalid.
+ Instead of using the cleanup stack, consider Symbian's new
+ \c LManagedHandle<> (or a custom cleanup object) to tie R-class
+ cleanup to the stack.
+ \o Mixed throwing code must be called within both a TRAP and a
+ try/catch harness. Standard exceptions must not propagate to
+ the TRAP and cleanup stack cleanup will only happen if a leave
+ is thrown, so the correct pattern is either \c {TRAPD(err,
+ QT_TRYCATCH_LEAVING( f ));} or \c {QT_TRAP_THROWING(
+ QT_TRYCATCH_LEAVING( f ));}, depending if you want an error
+ code or exception as a result.
+ \endlist
