/*
* Resource Acquisition Is Initialization is a programming idiom used
* to write robust code that is able to deallocate resources properly,
* even in presence of execution errors or exceptions that need to be
* propagated. The Scoped* classes defined in this header perform the
* deallocation of the resource they hold once program execution
* reaches the end of the scope for which they have been defined.
*
* This header provides the following RAII classes:
*
* - |ScopedFreePtr| - a container for a pointer, that automatically calls
* |free()| at the end of the scope;
* - |ScopedDeletePtr| - a container for a pointer, that automatically calls
* |delete| at the end of the scope;
* - |ScopedDeleteArray| - a container for a pointer to an array, that
* automatically calls |delete[]| at the end of the scope.
*
* The general scenario for each of the RAII classes is the following:
*
* ScopedClass foo(create_value());
* // ... In this scope, |foo| is defined. Use |foo.get()| or |foo.rwget()|
* to access the value.
* // ... In case of |return| or |throw|, |foo| is deallocated automatically.
* // ... If |foo| needs to be returned or stored, use |foo.forget()|
*
* Note that the RAII classes defined in this header do _not_ perform any form
* of reference-counting or garbage-collection. These classes have exactly two
* behaviors:
*
* - if |forget()| has not been called, the resource is always deallocated at
* the end of the scope;
* - if |forget()| has been called, any control on the resource is unbound
* and the resource is not deallocated by the class.
*
* Extension:
*
* In addition, this header provides class |Scoped| and macros |SCOPED_TEMPLATE|
* and |MOZ_TYPE_SPECIFIC_SCOPED_POINTER_TEMPLATE| to simplify the definition
* of RAII classes for other scenarios. These macros have been used to
* automatically close file descriptors/file handles when reaching the end of
* the scope, graphics contexts, etc.
