+#  Autorelease values
+
+## JERRYX_AR_VALUE_T
+
+**Summary**
+
+Macro for `const jerry_value_t` for which jerry_release_value() is
+automatically called when the variable goes out of scope.
+
+*Note*: The macro depends on compiler support. For GCC and LLVM/clang, the macro is implemented
+using the `__cleanup__` variable attribute. For other compilers, no support has been added yet.
+
+**Example**
+
+```c
+#include "jerryscript.h"
+#include "jerryscript-ext/autorelease.h"
+
+static void foo (bool enable)
+{
+  JERRYX_AR_VALUE_T bar = jerry_create_string (...);
+
+  if (enable)
+  {
+    JERRYX_AR_VALUE_T baz = jerry_get_global_object ();
+
+    ...
+
+    /*
+     * jerry_release_value (baz) and jerry_release_value (bar) is called automatically before
+     * returning, because `baz` and `bar` go out of scope.
+     */
+    return;
+  }
+
+  /*
+   * jerry_release_value (bar) is called automatically when the function returns,
+   * because `bar` goes out of scope.
+   */
+}
+```
