<h1>OUTDATED</h1>

<div style="border-bottom-style: dotted;  border-bottom-width: 1px;"><h2>Abstract:</h2></div>

<p>This document covers all issues about ClanLib safely and correctly</p>

<div style="border-bottom-style: dotted;  border-bottom-width: 1px;"><h3>Creating destroying objects</h3></div>

<p>All objects must both created AND destroyed inside their respective ::init() and ::deinit() groups.  This means that letting an object fall out of scope might not work, especially in CL_Application::main().<p>

<ul><pre><font face="Arial,Courier New,Courier">...
Do_Bar()
{
   CL_SetupSound::init();
   CL_SoundBuffer *soundbuffer = CL_Sample::create("beep.wav",NULL);
   CL_SoundBuffer_Session ses = soundbuffer-&gt;play();
   ...

   delete soundbuffer; // Good
 
   CL_SetupSound::deinit(); //All user objects must be destroyed before now
} //ses destroyed here, very bad

</font></pre></ul>

<p>  In this code ses is destroyed when it goes out of scope, which is after it should be destroyed.  A better solution to this problem would be either wrap Do_Bar in some other function. eg<p>

<ul><pre><font face="Arial,Courier New,Courier">
init_sound() {
 CL_SetupSound::init();
 Do_Bar();
 CL_SetupSound::deinit();
}

Do_Bar() {
   CL_SoundBuffer *soundbuffer = CL_Sample::create("beep.wav",NULL);
   CL_SoundBuffer_Session ses = soundbuffer-&gt;play(); //Ok here
   ...

   delete soundbuffer; // Good
}
</font></pre></ul>

<p> The code above is perfectly safe as ses is destroy when Do_Bar goes out of scope which is before deinit().  Another way is to use pointers.</p>
