Feb 23, 2010 · In RAII, holding a resource is a class invariant, and is tied to object lifetime: resource allocation (or acquisition) is done during object creation (specifically initialization), by the constructor, …

Apr 22, 2014 · RAII, Resource Acquisition Is Initialization means that all acquired resources should be acquired in the context of the initialization of an object. This forbids "naked" resource acquisition.

Dec 27, 2008 · In practice with C++, what is RAII, what are smart pointers, how are these implemented in a program and what are the benefits of using RAII with smart pointers?

Is it possible to implement RAII in pure C? I assume it isn't possible in any sane way, but perhaps is it possible using some kind of dirty trick. Overloading the standard free function comes to ...

Jun 2, 2017 · If I strictly follow RAII rules, which seems to be a good thing, why would that be any different from having a garbage collector in C++? I know that with RAII the programmer is in full …

Oct 17, 2013 · The reference that I personally have found most helpful on the topic of RAII is the book Exceptional C++ by Herb Sutter. Many of the topics covered in that book are touched on in the Guru …

No, C++ does not support 'finally' blocks. The reason is that C++ instead supports RAII: "Resource Acquisition Is Initialization" -- a poor name† for a really useful concept. The idea is that an object's …

4 RAII is partly about deciding when an object becomes responsible for its own cleanup - the rule being that the object becomes responsible if and when its constructor initialisation completes. The …

The more we use RAII in C++, the more we find ourselves with destructors that do non-trivial deallocation. Now, deallocation (finalization, however you want to call it) can fail, in which case exce...

Apr 14, 2009 · NO This is what RAII is for, let the destructor do its job. There is no harm in closing it manually, but it's not the C++ way, it's programming in C with classes. If you want to close the file …
