| Nowadays, every C++ developer is familiar with <a href="http://www.research.att.com/~bs/glossary.html#Gresource-acquisition-is-initialization" target="_top">RAII</a> |
| technique. It binds resource acquisition and release to initialization and |
| destruction of a variable that holds the resource. But there are times when |
| writing a special class for such variable is not worth the effort. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This is when <a class="link" href="index.html" title="Chapter 1. Boost.ScopeExit">ScopeExit</a> macro comes into play. |
| You put resource acquisition directly in your code and next to it you write |
| a code that releases the resource. |
