C++11 scope exit guard, a good idea?

Question

I\'ve written a small utility class for C++11 which I use as a scope guard for easier handling of exception safety and similar things.

Seems somewhat like a hack. Bu

Using Boost:

#include 

template
class ScopeGuardDetails {
    const Fn m_fn;
public:
    constexpr ScopeGuardDetails(Fn &&fn) : m_fn(fn) {}
    ~ScopeGuardDetails() { m_fn(); }
};
#define ScopeGuardName BOOST_PP_CAT(BOOST_PP_CAT(__scope_guard, _), BOOST_PP_CAT(BOOST_PP_CAT(__LINE__, _), __COUNTER__))
#define defer(stmt) const auto ScopeGuardName = [](const auto _fn) { \
    return ScopeGuardDetails { std::move(_fn) }; \
}([&] { stmt });

Usage:

if (gdiplus::GdiplusStartup(&token, &startupInput, nullptr) == Gdiplus::Ok) {
    defer({
        gdiplus::GdiplusShutdown(token);
    });
    ...
}
