| class LCleanedupArray : protected LAutoPtrBase |
A class template that provides CleanupStack-based local-scope automatic management of arrays.
This class can only be used to define locals, never data members. See below for an explanation and links to management classes suitable for use in different contexts. It should never be used in the same function as code that uses the CleanupStack API directly
This class can only be used with raw arrays, which are used only rarely on Symbian OS. Instances of Symbian array container classes (e.g. RArray , RPointerArray ) should be managed using the automatic management template classes appropriate for the array's type ( LCleanedupHandle template classes for Symbian R arrays or LCleanedupPtr template classes for Symbian C arrays).
The referring local variable goes out of scope normally
The referring local variable goes out of scope due to an untrapped leave causing the scope to be exited non-locally
The default cleanup strategy is to deallocate the managed array using arrray delete (delete[]), assuming that the array is heap-allocated. An alternative cleanup strategy can be selected by specifying a cleanup strategy template class as the optional second template argument (corresponding to the CleanupStrategy template parameter).
The constructors of this class may leave.
As a convenience, the elements of the managed array may be accessed via "[]" notation directly on the management object.
Automatic cleanup may be disabled at any time by calling Unmanage() , while cleanup may be forced at any time by calling ReleaseResource() .
// block scope example
{
LCleanedupArray<TValue> arrayp(new(ELeave) TValue[KArraySize]);
arrayp[0].DoSomethingL(); // leave-safe
if (arrayp[0].Finished())
return; // the array is deleted automatically when exiting from scope
arrayp[1].DoSomethingElseL(); // leave-safe
// the array is deleted automatically when exiting from scope
}
Behind the scenes, this class template is implemented in terms of the thread-local CleanupStack , restricting its use to locals on the stack. This use of the CleanupStack ensures a consistent cleanup order between functions that call one another, even if they use different cleanup idioms.
This class template together with the cleanup strategy class templates provide a template-based implementation of the Strategy design pattern (See also: Policy-based design).
LManagedArray which has the same interface, but does not use the cleanup stack and is suitable for protecting the data members of classes

| LCleanedupArray | ( | ) | [inline] |
Default constructor. Constructs an empty LCleanedupArray object.
| LCleanedupArray | ( | T * | aPtr | ) | [inline, explicit] |
Explicit constructor. Constructs a LCleanedupArray object that manages an array of objects of type T that can be cleaned up using the cleanup strategy of the LCleanedupArray class. The default cleanup strategy is to deallocate the heap-allocated array by using array delete. An alternative cleanup strategy can be selected by specifying a cleanup strategy template class as the optional second template argument (corresponding to the CleanupStrategy template parameter).
| T * aPtr | A pointer to the first element of an array of objects of type T, array that can be cleaned up using the cleanup strategy of the the LCleanedupArray class. |
| ~LCleanedupArray | ( | ) | [inline] |
Destructor. When automatic resource management is enabled, the destructor invokes the specified cleanup strategy for the managed pointer.
| void | ReleaseResource | ( | ) | [inline] |
If automatic resource management is enabled, the specified cleanup strategy is invoked for the managed pointer and the automatic resource management is then disabled. The underlying pointer is reset to NULL.
| void | Swap | ( | LCleanedupArray & | aArray | ) | [inline] |
| LCleanedupArray & aArray |
| LCleanedupArray & | operator= | ( | T * | aPtr | ) | [inline] |
Assigns a new array of objects of type T to be managed. It needs to be be possible to use the cleanup strategy of the LCleanedupArray object for the cleanup of the new managed array. The default cleanup strategy is to delete the heap-allocated array by using array delete (delete[]). If the LCleanedupArray object already manages an array, then the cleanup strategy is invoked with the managed array before assigning the new managed array.
| T * aPtr | A pointer to the first element of the array of objects of type T - array that can be cleaned up using the cleanup strategy. |
| T & | operator[] | ( | TInt | aIndex | ) | const [inline] |
Overloaded subscript operator.
| TInt aIndex |
