Changes to a store are not made permanent until they are committed. Until such changes are committed, they can be rolled back (i.e. reverted).</p> <p>In the following code fragment, <codeph>store</codeph> is a pointer to an opened permanent file store. The function <codeph>doUpdateStoreL()</codeph> adds a number of streams to this store and, if successful, establishes a new commit point.</p> <p>If a failure occurs or the call to <codeph>CommitL()</codeph> fails, then <codeph>doUpdateStoreL()</codeph> leaves; the leave is trapped and any changes made to the store are rolled back, so that the store is in the same state as it was before the changes were started. The store, therefore, remains in a consistent state in the event of failure.</p> <p><codeph>CItemArray</codeph> is a class that encapsulates an array of <codeph>TItem</codeph> objects; the relevant part of the definition is:</p> <codeblock id="GUID-0B5B04A7-AB4A-55CA-BCF0-9E19623F1554" xml:space="preserve">typedef TBuf&lt;100&gt; TItem;</codeblock> <codeblock id="GUID-52A3FAC2-4E23-5574-A21C-DE087ADDB911" xml:space="preserve">class CItemArray : public CBase
