<snip> I have two questions for you:
1) Are class destructors not good enough? If so, why?2) Have you looked into static destructors? I created a logging library and that worked perfect for me to ensure that if I killed the program via Ctrl-C, it would flush the output buffer and close the file handle.
Personally, I really like the use of "scope" vs. RAII. Keeping the code to clean up a file handle or the like right by where it's declared seems very sensible to me.
