We added new API getDocumentIterator to make it easier to write AutoCAD code that doesn't leak resources. The normal C++ idiom for avoiding resource leaks is RAII, and the STL provides the std::unique_ptr class that handles automatic deletion of wrapped pointers. Please use this API.

for (auto pI = ::acDocManager->getDocumentIterator(); !pI->done(); pI->step()) { AcApDocument* pApiDoc = pI->document(); /**other code**/ }

I think it’s a great Idea, however the documentation is ambiguous.

“auto getDocumentIterator();
Returns a new pointer to an AcApDocumentIterator object.”

should define exactly what auto is
