class QCursor;
//
// A less error-prone way of setting the override cursor, compared to
// the QApplication::{set,restore}OverrideCursor() pair.
//
// To use this class, allocate it on the stack with the desired cursor.
//
// This class sets the application's override cursor to <cursor> on
// construction. It restores the cursor on destruction.
//
// Example Usage 1 - Cursor active during the entire method:
//
// void method ()
// {
// kpSetOverrideCursorSaver cursorSaver (Qt::WaitCursor);
//
// <potentially time-consuming operation>
//
// } // Stack unwinds, calling cursorSaver's destructor,
// // which restores the cursor
//
// Example Usage 2 - Cursor active during part of the method:
//
// void method ()
// {
// <some code>
//
// {
// kpSetOverrideCursorSaver cursorSaver (Qt::WaitCursor);
//
// <potentially time-consuming operation>
//
// } // Stack unwinds, calling cursorSaver's destructor,
// // which restores the cursor
//
// // (cursor is restored before this code executes)
// <more code>
// }
//
// Note that the kpSetOverrideCursorSaver must be defined as a local
// variable inside -- not outside --- the braces containing the code the
// cursor can be active over, else the destruction and cursor restoration
// might not occur at the right time. In other words, the following usage
// is wrong:
//
// INCORRECT Example Usage 2:
//
// void method ()
// {
// <some code>
//
// kpSetOverrideCursorSaver cursorSaver (Qt::WaitCursor);
// // BUG: These braces do nothing to limit the effect of cursorSaver.
// {
// <potentially time-consuming operation>
// }
//
// // BUG: cursorSaver has not yet restored the cursor before this
// // code executes.
// <more code>
//
// } // Stack unwinds, calling cursorSaver's destructor,
// // which restores the cursor
