I recall there have been sevral attempts at a boostified version of Andrei A. ScopeGuard. I want to start using this functionality and was wondering a) if there is any consensus about best/most boost-consistent implementation b) if there is there is a version in the library approval pipeline (or some definite plans for including this functionality in boost) thanks.

Take a look at the serialization library (www.rrsd.com/boost/) which contains state_saver.hpp and a manual page. I did this because I needed it and was inspired by Daryl Walkers I/O state saver. Pavel V. made many improvements and to my mind effectively "boostified" it. Only did I much later become aware of the ScopeGard in the files section. I would much like to see this promoted out of the serialization library. Perhaps, even the original i/o state_savers might be slightly refactored to use the general state_saver. Robert Ramey
