# Scope Guard

[![GitHub release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/offa/scope-guard.svg)](https://github.com/offa/scope-guard/releases)

Implementation of *Scope Guards* (`scope_exit`, `scope_success`, `scope_fail`) and `unique_resource` as proposed in [**P0052R8**][2] (former [N3949][1]).


## Compatibility

This implementation conforms to [P0052][2], except:

###### Namespace
The namespace `sr` is used instead of `std`.

###### Filenames
The filenames contain a `.h` extension. To enable the compatible header as specified in the document the CMake option `ENABLE_COMPAT_HEADER` can be used. This will generate and install an additional header named `scope` (without file extension).
