Scope Guards

Run cleanup on scope exit.

What Is a Scope Guard?

A scope guard is an RAII object whose only job is to run a cleanup action when it goes out of scope — even on early return or exception.

The Problem It Solves

Without a guard, cleanup after an early return or a throw is easy to forget. A scope guard makes the action automatic.
