108 ///
109 /// In the example below, we have multiple exit paths and we want to log regardless of which one is

111 /// ```
112 /// # use kernel::ScopeGuard;
113 /// fn example1(arg: bool) {
114 ///     let _log = ScopeGuard::new(|| pr_info!("example1 completed\n"));

117 ///         return;
118 ///     }
119 ///
120 ///     pr_info!("Do something...\n");
121 /// }
122 ///
123 /// # example1(false);
124 /// # example1(true);
125 /// ```
126 ///
127 /// In the example below, we want to log the same message on all early exits but a different one on
128 /// the main exit path:
129 /// ```
130 /// # use kernel::ScopeGuard;
131 /// fn example2(arg: bool) {
132 ///     let log = ScopeGuard::new(|| pr_info!("example2 returned early\n"));

139 ///
140 ///     log.dismiss();

144 /// # example2(false);

149 /// function, so we wrap it in the [`ScopeGuard`]:
150 /// ```

152 /// fn example3(arg: bool) -> Result {
