Use and abuse of Symbian idioms

I saw a very interesting snipped of code on the newsgroups the other day. It showed how people can so easily misuse Symbian programming idioms if they are not careful     RArray<TInt>* array = new (ELeave) RArray<TInt>;     array->Append(1);...

RArray and Resource Mangement

  If you are not using RArray, you should be! It offers a substantial performance improvement over the CArray.. implementations for almost all the cases I can think of. It is fast - RArray is coded in ARM assembly in release versions of the code. It does not use...
