43 | Programmers should have enough knowledge to use this library after reading | |
44 | the <a class="link" href="../index.html#scope_exit.introduction" title="Introduction">Introduction</a>, <a class="link" href="getting_started.html" title="Getting Started">Getting | |
45 | Started</a>, and <a class="link" href="tutorial.html" title="Tutorial">Tutorial</a> sections. | |
46 | The <a href="../reference.html" target="_top">Reference</a> section can be consulted | |
47 | at a later point for quick reference. All the other sections of this documentation | |
48 | can be considered optional. | |
49 | </p> | |
50 | <p> | |
51 | Some footnotes are marked by the word "<span class="bold"><strong>Rationale</strong></span>". | |
52 | They explain reasons behind decisions made during the design and implementation | |
53 | of this library. | |

55 | <p> | |
56 | In most of the examples presented in this documentation, the Boost.Detail/LightweightTest | |
57 | (<code class="literal">boost/detail/lightweight_test.hpp</code>) macro <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_TEST</span></code> is used to check correctness | |
58 | conditions. The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_TEST</span></code> | |
59 | macro is conceptually similar to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">assert</span></code> | |
60 | but a failure of the checked condition does not abort the program, instead | |
61 | it makes <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">report_errors</span></code> return a non-zero program | |
62 | exit code. <a href="#ftn.scope_exit.getting_started.this_documentation.f0" class="footnote" name="scope_exit.getting_started.this_documentation.f0"><sup class="footnote">[2]</sup></a> | |

71 | The authors originally developed and tested the library on GNU Compiler Collection | |
72 | (GCC) C++ 3.3, 3.4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.5.3 (with and without C++11 features <code class="literal">-std=c++0x</code>), | |
73 | Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) 8.0, and Intel 10.1 under Linux, Cygwin, and | |
74 | Windows 7. However, this library should be usable on any compiler that supports | |
75 | <a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/typeof" target="_top">Boost.Typeof</a> except: | |

100 | This library is composed of header files only. Therefore there is no pre-compiled | |
101 | object file which needs to be installed. Programmers can simply instruct | |
102 | the compiler where to find the library header files (<code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">I</span></code> option on GCC, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">I</span></code> option on MSVC, etc) and compile code | |
103 | using the library. | |
104 | </p> | |
105 | <p> | |
106 | The library implementation uses <a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/typeof" target="_top">Boost.Typeof</a> | |
107 | to automatically deduce the types of the <a class="link" href="../index.html" title="Chapter 1. Boost.ScopeExit 1.1.0">Boost.ScopeExit</a> | |
108 | captured variables (see the <a class="link" href="tutorial.html" title="Tutorial">Tutorial</a> | |
109 | section). In order to compile code in <a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/typeof" target="_top">type-of | |
110 | emulation</a> mode, all types should be properly registered using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_TYPEOF_REGISTER_TYPE</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">BOOST_TYPEOF_REGISTER_TEMPLATE</span></code>, or appropriate | |
111 | <a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/typeof" target="_top">Boost.Typeof</a> headers | |
112 | should be included (see the source code of most examples presented in this | |
113 | documentation). | |
