\subsection{Detailed Description}
A helper class for the \mbox{\hyperlink{class_qore_1_1_thread_1_1_gate}{Gate}} class for exception-\/safe \mbox{\hyperlink{class_qore_1_1_thread_1_1_gate}{Gate}} handling. 

\begin{DoxyParagraph}{Restrictions\+:}
\mbox{\hyperlink{group__parse__options_gade963e1fbbd1f5b2c777df7221512a1b}{Qore\+::\+P\+O\+\_\+\+N\+O\+\_\+\+T\+H\+R\+E\+A\+D\+\_\+\+C\+L\+A\+S\+S\+ES}}
\end{DoxyParagraph}
\mbox{\hyperlink{class_qore_1_1_thread_1_1_auto_gate}{Auto\+Gate}} objects, when used along with a \mbox{\hyperlink{class_qore_1_1_thread_1_1_gate}{Gate}} object, allow Qore programmers to safely enter and exit a \mbox{\hyperlink{class_qore_1_1_thread_1_1_gate}{Gate}} lock, even if exceptions are thrown or return statements are executed in the block where the \mbox{\hyperlink{class_qore_1_1_thread_1_1_auto_gate}{Auto\+Gate}} object is created.

\mbox{\hyperlink{class_qore_1_1_thread_1_1_auto_gate}{Auto\+Gate}} objects enter the gate lock for the lifetime of the \mbox{\hyperlink{class_qore_1_1_thread_1_1_auto_gate}{Auto\+Gate}} object. For this reason, it is only appropriate to assign an \mbox{\hyperlink{class_qore_1_1_thread_1_1_auto_gate}{Auto\+Gate}} object to a local variable, so when the local variable goes out of scope, the \mbox{\hyperlink{class_qore_1_1_thread_1_1_auto_gate}{Auto\+Gate}} object will be deleted and the gate automatically exited.

For example\+: 
\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{our Gate gate();}
\DoxyCodeLine{}
\DoxyCodeLine{sub check\_error(error) \{}
\DoxyCodeLine{    \textcolor{comment}{\# note that the Gate is entered in the AutoGate constructor, and}}
\DoxyCodeLine{    \textcolor{comment}{\# the Gate will be exited as soon as the block is exited below.}}
\DoxyCodeLine{    \textcolor{comment}{\# (with either the throw statement or the return statement)}}
\DoxyCodeLine{    AutoGate ag(gate);}
\DoxyCodeLine{    \textcolor{keywordflow}{if} (error)}
\DoxyCodeLine{        throw \textcolor{stringliteral}{"ERROR"}, \textcolor{stringliteral}{"sorry, an error happened"};}
\DoxyCodeLine{}
\DoxyCodeLine{    \textcolor{keywordflow}{return} \textcolor{stringliteral}{"OK"};}
\DoxyCodeLine{\}}
\end{DoxyCode}
