## Class template wait_guard

boost::compute::wait_guard — A guard object for synchronizing an operation on the device.

## Synopsis

    // In header: <boost/compute/async/wait_guard.hpp>

    template<typename Waitable>
    class wait_guard : private noncopyable {
    public:
      // construct/copy/destruct
      wait_guard(const Waitable &);
      ~wait_guard();
    };

## Description

The wait_guard class stores a waitable object representing an operation on a compute device (e.g. event, future<T>) and calls its `wait()` method when the guard object goes out of scope.

This is useful for ensuring that an OpenCL operation completes before leaving the current scope and cleaning up any resources.

For example:

    // enqueue a compute kernel for execution
    event e = queue.enqueue_nd_range_kernel(...);

    // call e.wait() upon exiting the current scope
    wait_guard<event> guard(e);

### `wait_guard` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     wait_guard(const Waitable & waitable);

   Creates a new `wait_guard` object for `waitable`.

2.     ~wait_guard();

   Destroys the `wait_guard` object. The default implementation will call `wait()` on the stored waitable object.
