#include <utility>
// base::AutoReset<> is useful for setting a variable to a new value only within
// a particular scope. An base::AutoReset<> object resets a variable to its
// original value upon destruction, making it an alternative to writing
// "var = false;" or "var = old_val;" at all of a block's exit points.
//
// This should be obvious, but note that an base::AutoReset<> instance should
// have a shorter lifetime than its scoped_variable, to prevent invalid memory
// writes when the base::AutoReset<> object is destroyed.
