scopeguard

Rust crate for a convenient RAII scope guard that will run a given closure when it goes out of scope, even if the code between panics (assuming unwinding panic).

The defer! macro and guard are no_std compatible (require only core), but the on unwinding / not on unwinding strategies require linking to std. By default, the use_std crate feature is enabled. Disable the default features for no_std support.

Please read the API documentation here.

Minimum supported Rust version: 1.20

How to use

```rs

[macro_use(defer)]

extern crate scopeguard;

use scopeguard::guard;

fn f() { defer! { println!("Called at return or panic"); } panic!(); }

use std::fs::File; use std::io::Write;

fn g() { let f = File::create("newfile.txt").unwrap(); let mut file = guard(f, |f| { // write file at return or panic let _ = f.syncall(); }); // access the file through the scope guard itself file.writeall(b"test me\n").unwrap(); } ```

Recent Changes

• 1.2.0

  • Use ManuallyDrop instead of mem::forget in into_inner. (by @willtunnels)
  • Warn if the guard is not assigned to a variable and is dropped immediately instead of at the scope's end. (by @sergey-v-galtsev)

• 1.1.0

  • Change macros (defer!, defer_on_success! and defer_on_unwind!) to accept statements. (by @konsumlamm)

• 1.0.0

  • Change the closure type from FnMut(&mut T) to FnOnce(T): Passing the inner value by value instead of a mutable reference is a breaking change, but allows the guard closure to consume it. (by @tormol)

  • Add defer_on_success!, guard_on_success() and OnSuccess strategy, which triggers when scope is exited without panic. It's the opposite to defer_on_unwind! / guard_on_unwind() / OnUnwind.

  • Add ScopeGuard::into_inner(), which "defuses" the guard and returns the guarded value. (by @tormol)

  • Implement Sync for guards with non-Sync closures.

  • Require Rust 1.20
