It is a postfix macro which implements <xref href="GUID-C197C9A7-EA05-3F24-9854-542E984C612D.dita#GUID-C197C9A7-EA05-3F24-9854-542E984C612D/GUID-80E99D34-F4A1-36EA-AD64-E14ACAEC99B0"><apiname>User::LeaveIfError</apiname></xref> on an integer return type. This means that there is less focus on the error handling code and makes the code easier to read. </p> <section><title>Need for OR_Leave Macro</title> <p>Motive behind using a <xref href="GUID-7EB97E3A-90F5-3536-B7AC-F6F55023E2F3.dita"><apiname>OR_LEAVE</apiname></xref> macro is that it should not return an integer value. It is intended for use as a postfix macro at the end of a statement. If OR_LEAVE was to return an integer value, it would encourage its use in the middle of expressions negating its intended purpose which is to reduce the focus on error checking code. </p> </section> <example><title>Defining OR_Leave Macro</title> <p>The OR_LEAVE macro is defined as a postfix operator as shown below: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-DDB19E73-7D96-5D06-8EF9-AEC1248E8644" xml:space="preserve">
        #define OR_LEAVE || ELeave
        inline void operator||(TInt aStatus, TLeave /*aTag*/)
            {
            User::LeaveIfError(aStatus);
