I think Markus is right: summon is the opposite of dismiss for a guard. The question is whether it reads well when used:
guard g; if (something) g.dismiss(); ... if (whatever) g.summon();
"Guard"? Somehow "Summon" doesn't read very well above. I'm sorta partial to guard, but this may cause confusion with both the class name and the namespace name?
scope_guard g; if(cond) g.dismiss(); ... if(cond2) g.guard();
Just a thought...
I agree the "guard" is better. But the variable type name is scope_guard, many scope guard tools are resided in boost::guard namespace, the function for creating guards is make_guard. Aren't there too much guards here?
Yes, probably. As I said, just a thought... -- /Brian Riis
