Detailed Description

Simple ScopeGuard to execute a function at the end of the object lifetime.

This should be used when you want to make sure some cleanup is performed at the end of the current scope even if you might have multiple possible ways to exit the scope (return statements, exceptions).

Optionally you can call release() to indicate that cleanup will not be needed after all but the state should remain as it is.

For many common use cases there are factory functions to create the correct ScopeGuard object automatically

Member Function Documentation

guardBatchMode()

static ScopeGuard guardBatchMode ( bool  batchMode = true )

inlinestatic

Create a ScopeGuard to turn ROOT into batch mode and restore the initial batch mode status after the guard object is destroyed.

Restoring the initial status is important if your code e..g should run with and without the display module.

{
  // the default is to turn on batch mode. You can also pass "false" to turn off
  // the batch mode for the scope of this guard.
  auto guard = ScopeGuard::guardBatchMode();
  // now batch mode is turned on
}
// now back to what it was before.

Warning

Do not just call this function and discard the return value. You have to assign the return value to an object in the current scope to the scope guard to work as intended.

Definition at line 352 of file ScopeGuard.h.

    {
      auto getBatchMode = []() {
        return gROOT->IsBatch();
      };
 
      auto setBatchMode = [](bool batchMode_) {
        gROOT->SetBatch(batchMode_);
      };
 
      return guardGetterSetter(getBatchMode, setBatchMode, batchMode);
    }

guardDeletion()

static ScopeGuard guardDeletion ( T *&  pointer )

inlinestatic

Create a ScopeGuard to delete a raw pointer at the end of the scope.

Sometimes with ROOT we cannot use std::unique_ptr as ROOT wants the address of the pointer to modify it and allocate objects but ROOT still gives us ownership :/.

This class is thus a very simplified scope guard which will just delete the pointer on destruction but still allows using a raw pointer so that ROOT can do whatever it does while this guard is alive.

Warning

Most of the time you don't want this but std::unique_ptr instead. Only use this if you know what you are doing.

Do not just call this function and discard the return value. You have to assign the return value to an object in the current scope to the scope guard to work as intended.

Parameters

pointer

reference to a raw pointer to be deleted when the returned guard object goes out of scope

Definition at line 239 of file ScopeGuard.h.

    {
      return ScopeGuard([&pointer]() { delete pointer; pointer = nullptr; });
    }

guardFunctor() [1/2]

static ScopeGuard guardFunctor ( Functor  functor )

inlinestatic

Create a ScopeGuard from a functor object with appropriately overloaded operator() calls to get and set the values.

Otherwise it behaves exactly like guardGetterSetter()

Warning

Do not just call this function and discard the return value. You have to assign the return value to an object in the current scope to the scope guard to work as intended.

Parameters

functor

An object which has a suitable overloaded operator() to be able to get a value ( const T& operator()(); ) set a value ( void operator()(const T&); )

Definition at line 188 of file ScopeGuard.h.

    {
      typedef typename std::result_of<Functor()>::type value_type;
      std::function<void(const value_type&)> setter(functor);
      const auto old = functor();
      return ScopeGuard([setter, old] {setter(old);});
    }

guardFunctor() [2/2]

static ScopeGuard guardFunctor ( Functor  functor, const typename std::result_of< Functor()>::type &  newValue  )

inlinestatic

Create a ScopeGuard from a functor object with appropriately overloaded operator() calls to get and set the values.

Otherwise it behaves exactly like guardGetterSetter()

Warning

Do not just call this function and discard the return value. You have to assign the return value to an object in the current scope to the scope guard to work as intended.

Parameters

functor	An object which has a suitable overloaded operator() to be able to get a value (const T& operator()();) set a value (void operator()(const T&);)

Definition at line 210 of file ScopeGuard.h.

    {
      typedef typename std::result_of<Functor()>::type value_type;
      std::function<void(const value_type&)> setter(functor);
      const auto old = functor();
      setter(newValue);
      return ScopeGuard([setter, old] {setter(old);});
    }

guardGetterSetter() [1/2]

static ScopeGuard guardGetterSetter ( const Getter &  getter, Setter  setter, const typename std::result_of< Getter()>::type  newValue  )

inlinestatic

Create a ScopeGuard from a getter and setter: On construction first the getter is called to get the original value, then the setter is called to set the new value and when the guard object is destructed the setter is called with the original value again.

{
  auto numberOfEventsGuard = ScopeGuard::guardGetterSetter(
    [](){return Environment::Instance().getNumberEventsOverride();},
    [](unsigned int v){ Environment::Instance().setNumberEventsOverride(v);}
    56);
  // now the number of events is set to 56 but when this block is finished
  // the number of events will be reset to its original value
}

      return ScopeGuard([setter, old]() { setter(old); });
    }

guardGetterSetter() [2/2]

static ScopeGuard guardGetterSetter ( Getter  getter, Setter  setter  )

inlinestatic

Create a ScopeGuard from a getter and setter: On construction the getter object is called to obtain a value which is handed to the setter when the guard object goes out of scope.

{
  auto numberOfEventsGuard = ScopeGuard::guardGetterSetter(
    [](){return Environment::Instance().getNumberEventsOverride();},
    [](unsigned int v){ Environment::Instance().setNumberEventsOverride(v);}
  );
  // when this block is finished the number of events will be reset to its
  // original value
}

Warning

Do not just call this function and discard the return value. You have to assign the return value to an object in the current scope to the scope guard to work as intended.

Parameters

      return ScopeGuard([setter, old]() { setter(old); });
    }

guardStreamState()

static ScopeGuard guardStreamState ( std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits > &  stream )

inlinestatic

Create a ScopeGuard for the state of a stream to reset all the formatting at the end of the object lifetime.

{
  auto guard = ScopeGuard::guardStreamState(std::cout);
  std::cout << std::setprecision(56) << std::fixed << "Indiana pi: " << 3.2 << std::endl;
}
// now the formatting changes are reset

Warning

Do not just call this function and discard the return value. You have to assign the return value to an object in the current scope to the scope guard to work as intended.

Parameters

        stream.flags(flags);
        stream.precision(precision);
        stream.width(width);
        stream.fill(fill);
      });
    }

guardValue() [1/2]

      // function and don't assign the ScopeGuard
      const T old = reference;
      // This works even without any assignment or move constructors since
      // C++17 guarantees that this temporary object will be constructed in
      // place and no movement is required (tags: RVO, copy elision)
      return ScopeGuard([&reference, old]() { reference = old; });
    }

guardValue() [2/2]

static ScopeGuard guardValue ( T &  reference, const V &  newValue  )
