#ifndef GCC_OBSTACK_UTILS_H
#define GCC_OBSTACK_UTILS_H

// This RAII class automatically frees memory allocated on an obstack,
// unless told not to via keep ().  It automatically converts to an
// obstack, so it can (optionally) be used in place of the obstack
// to make the scoping clearer.  For example:
//
//     obstack_watermark watermark (ob);
//     auto *ptr1 = XOBNEW (watermark, struct1);
//     if (...)
//       // Frees ptr1.
//       return false;
//
//     auto *ptr2 = XOBNEW (watermark, struct2);
//     if (...)
//       // Frees ptr1 and ptr2.
//       return false;
//
//     // Retains ptr1 and ptr2.
//     watermark.keep ();
//
//     auto *ptr3 = XOBNEW (watermark, struct3);
//     if (...)
//       // Frees ptr3.
//       return false;
//
//     // Retains ptr3 (in addition to ptr1 and ptr2 above).
//     watermark.keep ();
//     return true;
//
// The move constructor makes it possible to transfer ownership to a caller:
//
//     obstack_watermark
//     foo ()
//     {
//       obstack_watermark watermark (ob);
//       ...
//       return watermark;
//     }
//
//     void
//     bar ()
//     {
//       // Inherit ownership of everything that foo allocated.
//       obstack_watermark watermark = foo ();
//       ...
//     }
