/*
 * 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.
