// The Windows MFC exception mechanism requires that a caught CException
// (including the CMemoryException in use here) be freed using its Delete()
// method. Thus, when MFC is in use and we're catching exceptions as a result
// of new(), the exception's Delete() method has to be called. No other
// platform imposes this sort of restriction/requirement. The Windows
// config stuff (at least for MSVC/MFC) defines a ACE_del_bad_alloc macro
// that works with its ACE_bad_alloc macro to implement this cleanup
// requirement. Since no other platform requires this, define it as
// empty here.

// If you wish to you use these macros for emulating exceptions on
// platforms which lack native exception support, you need to do the
// following:
// 1. Define a class Exception. You can name it as you please. This class
//    should be at the root of the inheritance hierarchy of all the
//    exceptions used in your application. It should define at a minimum
//    the following pure virtual methods:
//    a) _downcast () - Which allows narrowing of the base exception type to a
//       derived type.
//    b) _raise() - Which throws an exception of type Exception.
//
//    Classes which derive from these should implement these operations.
//
// 2. Define a class Environment. You can name it as you please. This class
//    is an exception holder. This class is always on the stack. It should
//    support at a minimum the following methods:
//      a) exception() - Which returns the Exception held in the current
//         Environment.
//      b) exception (Exception* foo) - Which replaces/sets the Exception
//         held in the current Environment with foo.
//      b) clear() - Which resets a particular instance of Environment.
//      c) A copy constructor and an assignment operator.
//
//  Note that the above description assumes that you use the following
//  macros only within a particular domain. For example, if your
//  application has to interoperate across domains, then you need to define
//  an exception adapter to translate exceptions from one domain to
//  exceptions in the other. Please refer to Stroustrup's book on how to do
//  this. If your use case is this complex, you would be better off with
//  going with native exceptions rather than emulated exceptions, though
//  the macros should still work if you defined your adapter class as
//  ACE_EXCEPTION_TYPE.


// The following macros assume that an environment variable is passed
// in/out of each function that can throw an exception. The type of the
// environment variable is defined by ACE_ENV_TYPE.
