General idea of Golang-style defer is explained here and here.
I wonder, does STL (of C++11, C++14, ...) or maybe Boost or maybe some other library contain implementation of such a class? So I could just use it without reimplementing it in every new project.
There is a proposal for std::unique_resource_t which will enable code like
auto file=make_unique_resource(::fopen(filename.c_str(),"w"),&::fclose);
for resources, and it defines a general scope_exit, which should be the same as defer:
// Always say goodbye before returning,
auto goodbye = make_scope_exit([&out]() ->void
{
out << "Goodbye world..." << std::endl;
});
It will be considered for likely adoption in the Post-C++17 standard.
This implementation is zero-overhead unlike some other answers, as well as syntactically nicer and easier to use. It also has zero dependencies, reducing compile times.
You can paste this snippet anywhere in your codebase and it will just work.
#ifndef defer
struct defer_dummy {};
template <class F> struct deferrer { F f; ~deferrer() { f(); } };
template <class F> deferrer<F> operator*(defer_dummy, F f) { return {f}; }
#define DEFER_(LINE) zz_defer##LINE
#define DEFER(LINE) DEFER_(LINE)
#define defer auto DEFER(__LINE__) = defer_dummy{} *[&]()
#endif // defer
Usage: defer { statements; };
Example:
#include <cstdint>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#ifndef defer
struct defer_dummy {};
template <class F> struct deferrer { F f; ~deferrer() { f(); } };
template <class F> deferrer<F> operator*(defer_dummy, F f) { return {f}; }
#define DEFER_(LINE) zz_defer##LINE
#define DEFER(LINE) DEFER_(LINE)
#define defer auto DEFER(__LINE__) = defer_dummy{} *[&]()
#endif // defer
bool read_entire_file(char *filename, std::uint8_t *&data_out,
std::size_t *size_out = nullptr) {
if (!filename)
return false;
auto file = std::fopen(filename, "rb");
if (!file)
return false;
defer { std::fclose(file); }; // don't need to write an RAII file wrapper.
if (std::fseek(file, 0, SEEK_END) != 0)
return false;
auto filesize = std::fpos_t{};
if (std::fgetpos(file, &filesize) != 0 || filesize < 0)
return false;
auto checked_filesize = static_cast<std::uintmax_t>(filesize);
if (checked_filesize > SIZE_MAX)
return false;
auto usable_filesize = static_cast<std::size_t>(checked_filesize);
// Even if allocation or read fails, this info is useful.
if (size_out)
*size_out = usable_filesize;
auto memory_block = new std::uint8_t[usable_filesize];
data_out = memory_block;
if (memory_block == nullptr)
return false;
std::rewind(file);
if (std::fread(memory_block, 1, usable_filesize, file) != usable_filesize)
return false; // Allocation succeeded, but read failed.
return true;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
if (argc < 2)
return -1;
std::uint8_t *file_data = nullptr;
std::size_t file_size = 0;
auto read_success = read_entire_file(argv[1], file_data, &file_size);
defer { delete[] file_data; }; // don't need to write an RAII string wrapper.
if (read_success) {
for (std::size_t i = 0; i < file_size; i += 1)
std::printf("%c", static_cast<char>(file_data[i]));
return 0;
} else {
return -1;
}
}
P.S.: The local deferrer object starts with zz_ and not _ so it doesn't clutter the Locals window in your debugger, and also because user identifiers technically shouldn't start with underscores.
I presented a header-only implementation of Go-style defer at CppCon 2014 (YouTube link); I called it Auto. IMHO this is still far and away the best alternative out there in terms of teachability, efficiency, and absolute fool-proofness. In use, it looks like this:
#include "auto.h"
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
Auto(std::cout << "Goodbye world" << std::endl); // defer a single statement...
int x[4], *p = x;
Auto(
if (p != x) { // ...or a whole block's worth of control flow
delete p;
}
);
if (argc > 4) { p = new int[argc]; }
}
The implementation looks like this:
#pragma once
template <class Lambda> class AtScopeExit {
Lambda& m_lambda;
public:
AtScopeExit(Lambda& action) : m_lambda(action) {}
~AtScopeExit() { m_lambda(); }
};
#define Auto_INTERNAL2(lname, aname, ...) \
auto lname = [&]() { __VA_ARGS__; }; \
AtScopeExit<decltype(lname)> aname(lname);
#define Auto_TOKENPASTE(x, y) Auto_ ## x ## y
#define Auto_INTERNAL1(ctr, ...) \
Auto_INTERNAL2(Auto_TOKENPASTE(func_, ctr), \
Auto_TOKENPASTE(instance_, ctr), __VA_ARGS__)
#define Auto(...) Auto_INTERNAL1(__COUNTER__, __VA_ARGS__)
Yes, that's the entire file: just 15 lines of code! It requires C++11 or newer, and requires your compiler to support __COUNTER__ (although you can use __LINE__ as a poor man's __COUNTER__ if you need portability to some compiler that doesn't support it). As for efficiency, I've never seen GCC or Clang generate anything other than perfect code for any use of Auto at -O2 or higher — it's one of those fabled "zero-cost abstractions."
The original source also has a C89 version that works on GCC by exploiting some very GCC-specific attributes.
Here's my solution, which is similar to the type you'd encounter in swift, but I don't handle any exceptions (easy enough to add if required, just use a try/catch block like in PSIAlt's solution):
class Defer {
using F = std::function<void(void)>;
std::vector<F> funcs;
void add(F f) {
funcs.push_back(f);
}
public:
Defer(F f) { add(f); }
Defer() {}
Defer(const Defer& ) = delete;
Defer& operator= (const Defer& ) = delete;
void operator() (F f) { add(f); }
~Defer() {
for(;!funcs.empty();) {
funcs.back()();
funcs.pop_back();
}
}
};
It may seem clunky due to its use of vector, but it retains the behavior of swift's defer where the functions are called in reverse order:
Defer defer([]{std::cout << "fourth" << std::endl;});
std::cout << "first" << std::endl;
auto s = "third";
defer([&s]{std::cout << s << std::endl;});
std::cout << "second" << std::endl;
But it's a bit more powerful than defer in that you can add deferred calls at any scope lower than your own. You just have to be careful that the lambda captured doesn't go out of scope when you use this (a bit of a flaw but not a serious one if you're careful).
I normally wouldn't use this, unless it's going to be a one-off statement. Ideally you'd wrap any resource around a new class that deallocates it when it goes out of scope, but if its top-level code with lots of resources and error handling, defer does make more sense from a code readability standpoint. You don't have to remember a bunch of new classes that really all do the same thing.
Before new standard comes, I use simple RAII class for this:
struct ScopeGuard {
typedef std::function< void() > func_type;
explicit ScopeGuard(func_type _func) : func(_func), isReleased(false) {}
~ScopeGuard() {
if( !isReleased && func ) try {
func();
}catch(...) {};
}
void Forget() { isReleased=true; }
//noncopyable
ScopeGuard(const ScopeGuard&) = delete;
ScopeGuard& operator=(const ScopeGuard&) = delete;
private:
func_type func;
bool isReleased;
};
Later it can be used for any things, for example:
FILE *fp = fopen(filename.c_str(),"w");
if(fp==NULL) throw invalid_argument();
ScopeGuard _fp_guard([&fp]() {
fclose(fp);
});
Also, you can use Boost.ScopeExit and similar implementations.
Here is my defer implementation, but without noexcept guarantee, I still don't think it is very good implementation.
Used like this:
#include <iostream>
#include "defer.hpp"
using namespace std;
int main() {
defer []{cout << "defered" << endl;};
}
Implementation:
#define DEFER_CONCAT_IMPL(x, y) x##y
#define DEFER_CONCAT(x, y) DEFER_CONCAT_IMPL(x, y)
#define AUTO_DEFER_VAR DEFER_CONCAT(__defer, __LINE__)
#define defer ::__defer AUTO_DEFER_VAR; AUTO_DEFER_VAR-
class __defer {
public:
template<typename Callable>
void operator- (Callable&& callable) {
defer_ = std::forward<Callable>(callable);
}
~__defer() {
defer_();
}
private:
std::function<void(void)> defer_;
};
used like this:
int main() {
int age = 20;
DEFER { std::cout << "age = " << age << std::endl; };
DEFER { std::cout << "I'll be first\n"; };
}
My implementation( please add header files yourself):
class ScopeExit
{
public:
ScopeExit() = default;
template <typename F, typename... Args>
ScopeExit(F&& f, Args&&... args)
{
// Bind all args, make args list empty
auto temp = std::bind(std::forward<F>(f), std::forward<Args>(args)...);
// Discard return type, make return type = void, conform to func_ type
func_ = [temp]() { (void)temp(); };
}
ScopeExit(ScopeExit&& r)
{
func_ = std::move(r.func_);
}
// Destructor and execute defered function
~ScopeExit()
{
if (func_)
func_();
}
private:
std::function< void ()> func_;
};
// Ugly macro, help
#define CONCAT(a, b) a##b
#define DEFER _MAKE_DEFER_HELPER_(__LINE__)
#define _MAKE_DEFER_HELPER_(line) ScopeExit CONCAT(_defer, line) = [&] ()
