\class QScopedPointer
\brief The QScopedPointer class stores a pointer to a dynamically allocated object, and deletes it upon destruction.
\since 4.6
\reentrant
\ingroup misc
Managing heap allocated objects manually is hard and error prone, with the
common result that code leaks memory and is hard to maintain.
QScopedPointer is a small utility class that heavily simplifies this by
assigning stack-based memory ownership to heap allocations, more generally
called resource acquisition is initialization(RAII).
QScopedPointer guarantees that the object pointed to will get deleted when
the current scope dissapears.
Consider this function which does heap allocations, and have various exit points:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 0
It's encumbered by the manual delete calls. With QScopedPointer, the code
can be simplified to:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 1
The code the compiler generates for QScopedPointer is the same as when
writing it manually. Code that makes use of \a delete are candidates for
QScopedPointer usage (and if not, possibly another type of smart pointer
such as QSharedPointer). QScopedPointer intentionally has no copy
constructor or assignment operator, such that ownership and lifetime is
clearly communicated.
The const qualification on a regular C++ pointer can also be expressed with
a QScopedPointer:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 2
\section1 Custom cleanup handlers
Arrays as well as pointers that have been allocated with \c malloc must
not be deleted using \c delete. QScopedPointer's second template parameter
can be used for custom cleanup handlers.
The following custom cleanup handlers exist:
\list
\i QScopedPointerDeleter - the default, deletes the pointer using \c delete
\i QScopedPointerArrayDeleter - deletes the pointer using \c{delete []}. Use
this handler for pointers that were allocated with \c{new []}.
\i QScopedPointerPodDeleter - deletes the pointer using \c{free()}. Use this
handler for pointers that were allocated with \c{malloc()}.
\endlist
You can pass your own classes as handlers, provided that they have a public
static function \c{void cleanup(T *pointer)}.
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 5
\section1 Forward Declared Pointers
Classes that are forward declared can be used within QScopedPointer, as
long as the destructor of the forward declared class is available whenever
a QScopedPointer needs to clean up.
Concretely, this means that all classes containing a QScopedPointer that
points to a forward declared class must have non-inline constructors,
destructors and assignment operators:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 4
Otherwise, the compiler output a warning about not being able to destruct
\c MyPrivateClass.

Destroys this QScopedPointer object. Delete the object its pointer points
to.

Returns the value of the pointer referenced by this object. QScopedPointer
still owns the object pointed to.

Returns \c true if this object is holding a pointer that is \c null.

Deletes the existing object it is pointing to if any, and sets its pointer to
\a other. QScopedPointer now owns \a other and will delete it in its
destructor.

/*!
\fn T *QScopedPointer::take()
Returns the value of the pointer referenced by this object. The pointer of this
QScopedPointer object will be reset to \c null.
Callers of this function take ownership of the pointer.

Returns \c true if the pointer referenced by this object is \c null, otherwise
returns \c false.

Swap this pointer with \a other.

\class QScopedArrayPointer
\brief The QScopedArrayPointer class stores a pointer to a
dynamically allocated array of objects, and deletes it upon
destruction.
\since 4.6
\reentrant
\ingroup misc
A QScopedArrayPointer is a QScopedPointer that defaults to
deleting the object it is pointing to with the delete[] operator. It
also features operator[] for convenience, so we can write:
\code
void foo()
{
QScopedArrayPointer<int> i(new int[10]);
i[2] = 42;
...
return; // our integer array is now deleted using delete[]
}
\endcode
*/
/*!
\fn QScopedArrayPointer::QScopedArrayPointer(T *p = 0)
Constructs this QScopedArrayPointer instance and sets its pointer
to \a p.
*/
/*!
\fn T *QScopedArrayPointer::operator[](int i)
Provides access to entry \a i of the scoped pointer's array of
objects.
If the contained pointer is \c null, behavior is undefined.
\sa isNull()
*/
/*!
\fn T *QScopedArrayPointer::operator[](int i) const
Provides access to entry \a i of the scoped pointer's array of
objects.
If the contained pointer is \c null, behavior is undefined.
\sa isNull()
