    \class QScopedPointer
    \inmodule QtCore
    \brief The QScopedPointer class stores a pointer to a dynamically allocated object, and deletes it upon destruction.
    \since 4.6
    \reentrant
    \ingroup misc

    Managing heap allocated objects manually is hard and error prone, with the
    common result that code leaks memory and is hard to maintain.
    QScopedPointer is a small utility class that heavily simplifies this by
    assigning stack-based memory ownership to heap allocations, more generally
    called resource acquisition is initialization(RAII).

    QScopedPointer guarantees that the object pointed to will get deleted when
    the current scope disappears.

    Consider this function which does heap allocations, and has various exit points:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 0

    It's encumbered by the manual delete calls. With QScopedPointer, the code
    can be simplified to:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 1

    The code the compiler generates for QScopedPointer is the same as when
    writing it manually. Code that makes use of \a delete are candidates for
    QScopedPointer usage (and if not, possibly another type of smart pointer
    such as QSharedPointer). QScopedPointer intentionally has no copy
    constructor or assignment operator, such that ownership and lifetime is
    clearly communicated.

    The const qualification on a regular C++ pointer can also be expressed with
    a QScopedPointer:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 2

    \section1 Custom Cleanup Handlers

    Arrays as well as pointers that have been allocated with \c malloc must
    not be deleted using \c delete. QScopedPointer's second template parameter
    can be used for custom cleanup handlers.

    The following custom cleanup handlers exist:

    \list
    \li QScopedPointerDeleter - the default, deletes the pointer using \c delete
    \li QScopedPointerArrayDeleter - deletes the pointer using \c{delete []}. Use
       this handler for pointers that were allocated with \c{new []}.
    \li QScopedPointerPodDeleter - deletes the pointer using \c{free()}. Use this
       handler for pointers that were allocated with \c{malloc()}.
    \li QScopedPointerDeleteLater - deletes a pointer by calling \c{deleteLater()}
       on it. Use this handler for pointers to QObject's that are actively
       participating in a QEventLoop.
    \endlist

    You can pass your own classes as handlers, provided that they have a public
    static function \c{void cleanup(T *pointer)}.

    \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 5

    \section1 Forward Declared Pointers

    Classes that are forward declared can be used within QScopedPointer, as
    long as the destructor of the forward declared class is available whenever
    a QScopedPointer needs to clean up.

    Concretely, this means that all classes containing a QScopedPointer that
    points to a forward declared class must have non-inline constructors,
    destructors and assignment operators:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 4

    Otherwise, the compiler outputs a warning about not being able to destruct
    \c MyPrivateClass.

  \since 4.6
  \reentrant
  \ingroup misc

  A QScopedArrayPointer is a QScopedPointer that defaults to
  deleting the object it is pointing to with the delete[] operator. It
  also features operator[] for convenience, so we can write:

  \code
    void foo()
    {
        QScopedArrayPointer<int> i(new int[10]);
        i[2] = 42;
        ...
        return; // our integer array is now deleted using delete[]
    }
  \endcode
