- RAII makes most sense if you have exceptions.
RAII is orthogonal to exceptions, so his claim is nonsense.
Just a note: this isn't really true. RAII was initially used to
deal with exceptions.
This is completely not true, we were using RAII in C++ before any
compiler had real support for exceptions.
In the 90's exceptions were still being discussed at ANSI/ISO
with very few compiler offering support for them. And those that
did, suffered from implementation bugs.
