Finally clauses Tony Garnock-Jones 09 Aug 2002 14:10 UTC

Hi. One feature I find valuable in Java that I miss in C++ (and
Scheme, for that matter) is the idea of a "finally" clause. Would
srfi-34 be a sensible place to put one of these - either alongside the
try clause, on its own, or bound up together with it, as perhaps
try/finally?

	(begin
	  (mutex-lock! m)
	  (finally (mutex-unlock! m)
	    (do-operation-requiring-lock)))
