In Google Test, how to do tear down in the face of assertion failures?

I'm trying to figure out how to do TearDown() in the face of ASSERT failures in Google Test.

A dummy example is below:

class TestFixture: public testing::Test 
{
protected:
  virtual void SetUp() 
  {
      // Do per test setup
  }

  virtual void TearDown() 
  {
      // Do per test teardown
  }

}

TEST_F(TestFixture, MyTest)
{
  ASSERT_TRUE(false);
}

What I'm trying to acheive is for TearDown() to be called even if the test throws an assertion failure. GoogleTest doesn't call TearDown() when an assertion is thrown. How do I go about this?

Put your setup code in the fixture's constructor, and put your tear-down code in the destructor.
