LeaveScan is a command-line utility developped by Symbian Ltd that checks that your code respects the naming conventions for leaving functions. This article will show you how to integrate it and use it directly from Nokia Codewarrior (version 3.x is required).

SymbianOSUnit has just been updated to support Symbian 9.x and the latest range of Symbian OS Smartphones powered by S60 3rd Edition and UIQ 3.x. If you are not already using it, this is now time to discover this useful test environment.

Pawel Defee from Chiralion has just released the source code of its popular Panix utility. This release intends to demonstrate how advanced binary code, ROM, and runtime analyses can be performed on Symbian-platform based devices. It is also a good example of a single application source code base that directly compiles for 5 different Symbian platforms.

Panics for the CImageDecoder API are not (yet) documented in the SDL. Here is a list of possible codes (displayed with the "ImageConversion" panic name).

Your application terminates with an ugly "Program Closed: ALLOC xxxxxxxx 0" window ? It has leaked some memory... this article will teach you how to track down the faulty allocation.

EIKON-LISTBOX panics are unfortunately not documented within the SDL (and they are unlikely to occur unless you define your own listboxes). However, here are the possible panics...

This article is continuation of my earlier article on exception handling and cleanup mechanism in Symbian. This one deals with how to catch some exceptions at thread level.

Symbian handles Exceptions very differently compare to standard C++'s try and catch mechanism. Symbian has provided some cleanup mechanism. Symbian has TRAP/TRAPD along with CleanupStack and some conventions like Leaving methods which we should know for understanding Cleanup mechanism in Symbian...
