+    \class QScopedPointer
+    \brief The QScopedPointer class stores a pointer to a dynamically allocated object, and deletes it upon destruction.
+    \since 4.6
+    \reentrant
+    \ingroup misc
+
+    Managing heap allocated objects manually is hard and error prone, with the
+    common result that code leaks memory and is hard to maintain.
+    QScopedPointer is a small utility class that heavily simplifies this by
+    assigning stack-based memory ownership to heap allocations, more generally
+    called resource acquisition is initialization(RAII).
+
+    QScopedPointer guarantees that the object pointed to will get deleted when
+    the current scope disappears.
+
+    Consider this function which does heap allocations, and have various exit points:
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 0
+
+    It's encumbered by the manual delete calls. With QScopedPointer, the code
+    can be simplified to:
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 1
+
+    The code the compiler generates for QScopedPointer is the same as when
+    writing it manually. Code that makes use of \a delete are candidates for
+    QScopedPointer usage (and if not, possibly another type of smart pointer
+    such as QSharedPointer). QScopedPointer intentionally has no copy
+    constructor or assignment operator, such that ownership and lifetime is
+    clearly communicated.
+
+    The const qualification on a regular C++ pointer can also be expressed with
+    a QScopedPointer:
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 2
+
+    \section1 Custom cleanup handlers
+
+    Arrays as well as pointers that have been allocated with \c malloc must
+    not be deleted using \c delete. QScopedPointer's second template parameter
+    can be used for custom cleanup handlers.
+
+    The following custom cleanup handlers exist:
+
+    \list
+    \i QScopedPointerDeleter - the default, deletes the pointer using \c delete
+    \i QScopedPointerArrayDeleter - deletes the pointer using \c{delete []}. Use
+       this handler for pointers that were allocated with \c{new []}.
+    \i QScopedPointerPodDeleter - deletes the pointer using \c{free()}. Use this
+       handler for pointers that were allocated with \c{malloc()}.
+    \endlist
+
+    You can pass your own classes as handlers, provided that they have a public
+    static function \c{void cleanup(T *pointer)}.
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 5
+
+    \section1 Forward Declared Pointers
+
+    Classes that are forward declared can be used within QScopedPointer, as
+    long as the destructor of the forward declared class is available whenever
+    a QScopedPointer needs to clean up.
+
+    Concretely, this means that all classes containing a QScopedPointer that
+    points to a forward declared class must have non-inline constructors,
+    destructors and assignment operators:
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qscopedpointer.cpp 4
+
+    Otherwise, the compiler output a warning about not being able to destruct
+    \c MyPrivateClass.
