How can I make this "define" call my function even if exception thrown

[6tr6tr]

I've defined an alias for some code to make it easier for the users/developers to do certain actions.

So here's what i have now:

#define manage( val ) bool managed = false; while ( MyClass::manage( val, managed ) )

And then I can use the syntax:

manage( someObj )
{
...some code in here
}

And it will call "manage" both at the beginning bracket and the end (since it's a loop). Here's the problem: if an exception is thrown inside the codeblock (see above "...some code here" ), then it doesn't call "manage" at the end of the code block.

I can do the following, but I MUCH prefer the cleaner, more regular syntax if possible.

#define manage( val ) bool managed = false; try { while ( MyClass::manage( val, managed ) )
#define end_manage( val ) } catch (... ) { MyClass::manage, managed ); }

which allows me the syntax:

manage( someObj )
{
...some code in here
} end_manage( someObj );

and that's not bad, but I MUCH prefer it with just "manage" and the brackets. So my question:

Can i do something equivalent to:

#define manage( val ) bool managed = false; try { while ( MyClass::manage( val, managed ) ) $code_block } catch (...) { MyClass::manage, managed ); }

where "$code_block" signifies to the compiler that's the code in between the brackets?

I'm too tired to test this now, but I think this should work:

#define manage( val, code_block ) \
   { \
      bool managed = false; \
      try \
      { \
         while ( MyClass::manage( val, managed ) ) \
            code_block \
      } \
      catch (...) \
      { \
         MyClass::manage( val, managed ); \
      } \
   }

manage( someObj,
        { /* some code in here. */ } )

Thanks, cpjust, I'll give that a try. It's pretty close to what I'm looking for and I'll have to play around with it to see if I can modify it slightly in syntax.

Nice thinking!
