PM91289: Using AdditionalNumberOfInstances with the OXF can lead to crash rather than graceful recovery

Rational Rhapsody 8.0.5
Rational Rhapsody 8.0.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• nothrow
  constant so when a new event is created they throw an exception
  rather
  than return zero.
  
  It's possible we need to extend this solution to the standard
  Rhapsody
  OXF framework as well.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Using the property AdditionalNumberOfInstances with the OXF can
  lead to a crash rather than graceful recovery.
  

Problem conclusion

• The OXF framework now contains additional pairs of new/delete
  operators that don't throw an exception if an object is not
  allocated.
  The implementations of the GEN, GEN_BY_GUI and GEN_BY_X macros
  have been modified to take into account a variable called
  OM_USE_NOTHROW_GEN. To use the "no throw" approach, define the
  variable OM_USE_NOTHROW_GEN. Note that in the QNX environment,
  this variable is already defined in the CompileSwitches
  property.
  

Temporary fix
