// deferred_call:
// --------------
// This struct enables us to implement deferred function calls simply in
// the defer() function below. It forces a given function to automatically
// be called at the end of scope using move-only semantics. Most
// commonly, the given function will be a lambda but that is not required.
// See the defer() function (below) for more on this
// =============================================================================
template <typename FUNC>
struct deferred_call
{
// Disallow assignment and copy
deferred_call(const deferred_call& that) = delete;
deferred_call& operator=(const deferred_call& that) = delete;
// Pass in a lambda
deferred_call(FUNC&& f)
: m_func(std::forward<FUNC>(f)), m_bOwner(true)
{
}
// Move constructor, since we disallow the copy
deferred_call(deferred_call&& that)
: m_func(std::move(that.m_func)), m_bOwner(that.m_bOwner)
{
that.m_bOwner = false;
}
// Destructor forces deferred call to be executed
~deferred_call()
{
execute();
}
// Prevent the deferred call from ever being invoked
bool cancel()
{
bool bWasOwner = m_bOwner;
m_bOwner = false;
return bWasOwner;
}
// Cause the deferred call to be invoked NOW
bool execute()
{
const auto bWasOwner = m_bOwner;

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// defer: Generic, deferred function calls
// ----------------------------------------
// This function template the user the ability to easily set up any
// arbitrary function to be called *automatically* at the end of
// the current scope, even if return is called or an exception is
// thrown. This is sort of a fire-and-forget. Saves you from having
// to repeat the same code over and over or from having to add
// exception blocks just to be sure that the given function is called.
//
// If you wish, you may cancel the deferred call as well as force it
// to be executed BEFORE the end of scope.
//
// Example:
// void Foo()
// {
// auto callOnException = defer([]{ SomeGlobalFunction(); });
// auto callNoMatterWhat = defer([pObj](pObj->SomeMemberFunction(); });
//
// // Do dangerous stuff that might throw an exception ...
//
// ...
// ... blah blah blah
// ...
//
// // Done with dangerous code. We can now...
// // a) cancel either of the above calls (i.e. call cancel()) OR
// // b) force them to be executed (i.e. call execute()) OR
// // c) do nothing and they'll be executed at end of scope.
//
// callOnException.cancel(); // no exception, prevent this from happening
//
// // End of scope, If we had not canceled or executed the two
// // above objects, they'd both be executed now.
// }
