Generally it is not a good practice to have stuff like:
try
{
...* x= new Something;
...
delete x;
}
catch()
{
}
The solution is to create objects on the stack, or use some kind of
wrapper object (a proxy, smart pointer, whatever) and have it's
constructor allocate the memory and have it's destructor free that memory.
