You could, but you'd be wrong. :) You can't do this with C, for
example:
class RecordPtr
{
public:
RecordPtr(MemHandle mh):_mh(mh),_p( MemHandleLock(mh) ) { }
~RecordPtr() { if (_p) MemHandleUnlock(_mh); }
operator MemPtr() { return _p; }
protected:
MemHandle _mh;
MemPtr _p;
};
Locking and unlocking handles is guaranteed by the compiler, rather than you
scanning your code manually and making sure that the number of locks ==
number of unlocks.
Yes, you can get rid of the "protected" and "public" and change the "class"
to "struct", but you still need a C++ compiler to compile it! So even
though you're not using class, you'd still be using C++.
