// ScopedNSAutoreleasePool creates an autorelease pool when instantiated and
// pops it when destroyed.  This allows an autorelease pool to be maintained in
// ordinary C++ code without bringing in any direct Objective-C dependency.
//
// Before using, please be aware that the semantics of autorelease pools do not
// match the semantics of a C++ class. In particular, recycling or destructing a
// pool lower on the stack destroys all pools higher on the stack, which does
// not mesh well with the existence of C++ objects for each pool.
//
// TODO(https://crbug.com/1424190): Enforce stack-only use via the
// STACK_ALLOCATED annotation.
//
// Use this class only in C++ code; use @autoreleasepool in Obj-C(++) code.
