Optimized, "Boostified" version uses Boost.Bind, without having to use Boost.Function submitted by John Sheehan. http://www.dumbnose.com/src/scope_guard.h

   "scope guard" etc... does not yield any results. ]

 (I hope I didn't overstate Andrei's approval.  He just said it was okay with him if I tried to get it into Boost.  Joe)

http://tnfox.sourceforge.net/TnFOX/html/group__rollbacks.html contains original implementation by Niall Douglas (among others one could do "group undo").

Update

Posted 2006-03-24

The Loki library contains an implementation of ScopeGuard?, similar to Alexandrescus and Margineans original implementation. The library can be downloaded from its Sourceforge site. Of follow the link from Alexandrescus homepage.

The Boost Multi-Index Containers Library, new to Boost with release 1.32, constains a version of ScopeGuard as an implementation detail. The Boost Iostreams Library, to be released with Boost 1.33, also contains a version of ScopeGuard. It is likely that these two implementations will be merged and moved to the directory <boost/detail>.

Now that ScopeGuard is an undocumented part of Boost, it is a candidate for Fast-Track Review.
