/*!
The Finally trait provides a method, `finally` on
stack closures that emulates Java-style try/finally blocks.

Using the `finally` method is sometimes convenient, but the type rules
prohibit any shared, mutable state between the "try" case and the
"finally" case. For advanced cases, the `try_finally` function can
also be used. See that function for more details.

# Example

```
use std::finally::Finally;

(|| {
    // ...
}).finally(|| {
    // this code is always run
})
```

/// A trait for executing a destructor unconditionally after a block of code,
/// regardless of whether the blocked fails.

    /// Executes this object, unconditionally running `dtor` after this block of
    /// code has run.
    fn finally(&mut self, dtor: ||) -> T;

    fn finally(&mut self, dtor: ||) -> T {
        try_finally(&mut (), self,
                    |_, f| (*f)(),
                    |_| dtor())

    fn finally(&mut self, dtor: ||) -> T {
        try_finally(&mut (), (),

/**
 * The most general form of the `finally` functions. The function
 * `try_fn` will be invoked first; whether or not it panics, the
 * function `finally_fn` will be invoked next. The two parameters
 * `mutate` and `drop` are used to thread state through the two
 * closures. `mutate` is used for any shared, mutable state that both
 * closures require access to; `drop` is used for any state that the
 * `try_fn` requires ownership of.
 *
 * **WARNING:** While shared, mutable state between the try and finally
 * function is often necessary, one must be very careful; the `try`
 * function could have panicked at any point, so the values of the shared
 * state may be inconsistent.
 *
 * # Example
 *
 * ```
 * use std::finally::try_finally;
 *
 * struct State<'a> { buffer: &'a mut [u8], len: uint }
 * # let mut buf = [];
 * let mut state = State { buffer: &mut buf, len: 0 };
 * try_finally(
 *     &mut state, (),
 *     |state, ()| {
 *         // use state.buffer, state.len
 *     },
 *     |state| {
 *         // use state.buffer, state.len to cleanup
 *     })
 * ```
