Memory -Management Overview

Purpose

Fundamental to Symbian platform programs -is a concern that memory, as a limited resource, is carefully handled, particularly -in the event of error conditions. For this reason, exception handling and -memory management are closely tied together in the Cleanup Support API.

Architectural relationships

The Uikon framework -uses these APIs to provide to each GUI program the basic infrastructure for -well-behaved memory handling. In particular, each GUI program has support -for cleaning up memory in exception conditions, and, in debug builds, detection -of memory leaks.

Description

Functionality is provided by a number -of APIs. Use them as follows:

Cleanup -Support Overview

Provides idioms to handle program exceptions, -and to clean up memory when exceptions occur.

Memory -Allocation Overview

Provides low-level functionality by which -a Symbian platform process can access and manipulate memory areas.
