std::experimental::make_unique_resource_checked

From cppreference.com
Defined in header <experimental/scope>
template <class R, class D, class S = std::decay_t<R>>

std::experimental::unique_resource<std::decay_t<R>, std::decay_t<D>>
    make_unique_resource_checked(R&& r, const S& invalid, D&& d)

    noexcept(/*see below*/);
(library fundamentals TS v3)

Creates a unique_resource, initializes its stored resource handle is initialized with std::forward<R>(r) and its deleter with std::forward<D>(d). The created unique_resource owns the resource if and only if bool(r == invalid) is false.

The program is ill-formed if the expression r == invalid cannot be contextually converted to bool, and the behavior is undefined if the conversion results in undefined behavior or throws an exception.

Paramaters

r - a resouce handle
d - a deleter to use to dispose the resource
invalid - a value indicating the resource handle is invalid

Reture value

A unique_resource described above.

Exceptions

Any exception thrown in initialization of the stored resource handle and the deleter.

noexcept specification:  

Notes

make_unique_resource_checked exists to avoid calling a deleter function with an invalid argument.

Resource handle r is either copied or moved into the return value, and the created unique_resource always holds an underlying resource handle with object type.

Example

#include <cstdio>
#include <experimental/scope>
 
int main()
{
    // avoid calling fclose when fopen fails
    auto file = std::experimental::make_unique_resource_checked(
        std::fopen("potentially_nonexistent_file.txt", "r"),
        nullptr,
        [](std::FILE *fptr){ std::fclose(fptr); }
    );
    if (file.get()) {
        std::puts("The file exits.");
    }
    else {
        std::puts("The file does not exist.");
    }
}

Possible output:

The file does not exist.
