A question about CleanupStack Push() and Pop()

[vinp]

Hello list,

My assumption is that the CleanupStack exists until the program exits.
So, would it be correct to assume that if an object is pushed on to the CleanupStack from one routine, it can be popped and destroyed in another routine, perhaps in a different file? This is assuming that the programmer is sure that what is popped and destroyed from the CleanupStack in a different routine, is the same object that was pushed on to the CleanupStack from the previous routine?

Appreciate your comments.

TIA
Vin

what you suggesting does not make too much sense, and would definetely have high chance introducing additional panics to your applciation, thus I would recommend forgetting about trying a such thing.

The programmer has to make sure that it is popping the right objects in the right order. Technically it often happens that you push something on it in one 'file' and pop in an other. For example when you are invoking NewLC of something, that NewLC method is usually somewhere else, either in an other .cpp file, or even in an other .dll.
The rules are simple:
- if your method is an LC method, it is expected leave something on the Cleanup Stack
- if your method is not an LC method, it is not expected to leave anything on the Cleanup Stack
