Struct ScopeGuard

pub struct ScopeGuard<T, F: FnOnce(T)>(/* private fields */);

Runs a cleanup function/closure when dropped.

The ScopeGuard::dismiss function prevents the cleanup function from running.

Examples

In the example below, we have multiple exit paths and we want to log regardless of which one is taken:

fn example1(arg: bool) {
    let _log = ScopeGuard::new(|| pr_info!("example1 completed\n"));

    if arg {
        return;
    }

    pr_info!("Do something...\n");
}

In the example below, we want to log the same message on all early exits but a different one on the main exit path:

fn example2(arg: bool) {
    let log = ScopeGuard::new(|| pr_info!("example2 returned early\n"));

    if arg {
        return;
    }

    // (Other early returns...)

    log.dismiss();
    pr_info!("example2 no early return\n");
}

In the example below, we need a mutable object (the vector) to be accessible within the log function, so we wrap it in the ScopeGuard:

fn example3(arg: bool) -> Result {
    let mut vec =
        ScopeGuard::new_with_data(KVec::new(), |v| pr_info!("vec had {} elements\n", v.len()));

    vec.push(10u8, GFP_KERNEL)?;
    if arg {
        return Ok(());
    }
    vec.push(20u8, GFP_KERNEL)?;
    Ok(())
}

Invariants

The value stored in the struct is nearly always Some(_), except between ScopeGuard::dismiss and ScopeGuard::drop: in this case, it will be None as the value will have been returned to the caller. Since ScopeGuard::dismiss consumes the guard, callers won’t be able to use it anymore.

Implementations

impl<T, F: FnOnce(T)> ScopeGuard<T, F>

pub fn new_with_data(data: T, cleanup_func: F) -> Self

Creates a new guarded object wrapping the given data and with the given cleanup function.

pub fn dismiss(self) -> T

Prevents the cleanup function from running and returns the guarded data.

impl ScopeGuard<(), fn(_: ())>

pub fn new(cleanup: impl FnOnce()) -> ScopeGuard<(), impl FnOnce(())>

Creates a new guarded object with the given cleanup function.

fn deref(&self) -> &T

Dereferences the value.

impl<T, F: FnOnce(T)> DerefMut for ScopeGuard<T, F>

fn deref_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T

Mutably dereferences the value.

impl<T, F: FnOnce(T)> Drop for ScopeGuard<T, F>

fn drop(&mut self)
