ScopeSuccess C++ 17

suggest change

Thanks to int std::uncaught_exceptions(), we can implement action which executes only on success (no thrown exception in scope). Previously bool std::uncaught_exception() just allows to detect if any stack unwinding is running.

#include <exception>
#include <iostream>

template <typename F>
class ScopeSuccess
{
private:
    F f;
    int uncaughtExceptionCount = std::uncaught_exceptions();
public:
    explicit ScopeSuccess(const F& f) : f(f) {}
    ScopeSuccess(const ScopeSuccess&) = delete;
    ScopeSuccess& operator =(const ScopeSuccess&) = delete;

    // f() might throw, as it can be caught normally.
    ~ScopeSuccess() noexcept(noexcept(f())) {
        if (uncaughtExceptionCount == std::uncaught_exceptions()) {
            f();
        }
    }
};

struct Foo {
    ~Foo() {
        try {
            ScopeSuccess logSuccess{[](){std::cout << "Success 1\n";}};
            // Scope succeeds,
            // even if Foo is destroyed during stack unwinding
            // (so when 0 < std::uncaught_exceptions())
            // (or previously std::uncaught_exception() == true)
        } catch (...) {
        }
        try {
            ScopeSuccess logSuccess{[](){std::cout << "Success 2\n";}};

            throw std::runtime_error("Failed"); // returned value
                                                // of std::uncaught_exceptions increases
        } catch (...) { // returned value of std::uncaught_exceptions decreases
        }
    }

};

int main()
{
    try {
        Foo foo;

        throw std::runtime_error("Failed"); // std::uncaught_exceptions() == 1
    } catch (...) { // std::uncaught_exceptions() == 0
    }
}

Output:

Success 1
