32  * NOTE: This class is broken and you probably shouldn't use it. Calling a save
33  * game dialog from the destructor of a class is a bad idea, because those
34  * functions throw exceptions. For example if the user decides to quit the game,
35  * or there is a filesystem error. If the destructor throws exceptions, it will
36  * cause memory leaks and crashes.
37  * https://wiki.wesnoth.org/CodingStandards#Destructors_must_not_throw_exceptions
38  *
39  * As a temporary fix the destructor has been changed to swallow all exceptions.
40  * However this means that if the user attempts to quit the game from the savegame
41  * dialog, or any filesystem error occurs, it will be suppressed instead of being
42  * handled normally. So you should avoid using this class and it may be removed.
