## Detailed Description

QScopeGuard<F> is a class of which the sole purpose is to run the function f in its destructor. This is useful for guaranteeing your cleanup code is executed, whether the function is exited normally, exited early by a return statement, or exited by an exception.

Note: Exceptions are not supported. The callable shouldn't throw when executed, copied or moved.

## Member Function Documentation

### `[since 5.15]` QScopeGuard::QScopeGuard(F &&f)

### `[since 5.15]` QScopeGuard::QScopeGuard(const F &f)

Create a scope guard that will execute f at the end of the scope.

If F is a lambda, its type cannot be written. In that case you need to either rely on class template argument deduction (C++17 feature) and leave the template parameter out completely or use the helper function qScopeGuard() instead of this constructor.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.15.

### void QScopeGuard::dismiss()

Disarms the scope guard, so that the function F will not be called at the end of the scope.

### template <typename F> QScopeGuard<typename std::decay<F>::type> qScopeGuard(F &&f)

The qScopeGuard function can be used to call a function at the end of the scope.

Create a scope guard that will execute f at the end of the scope.

This helper function is provided so that you can easily construct a QScopeGuard without having to name the template parameter for the type of the callable. If F is a lambda then you cannot write its type and relying on this helper or class template argument deduction is necessary.

Example usage is as follows:

     void myComplexCodeWithMultipleReturnPoints(int v)
     {
         // The lambda will be executed right before your function returns
         auto cleanup = qScopeGuard([] { code you want executed goes HERE; });

         if (v == -1)
             return;

         int v2 = code_that_might_throw_exceptions();

         if (v2 == -1)
             return;

         (...)
     }
