 Hi, in C++ I can use smart pointers to wrap raw pointers with custom

1) Structs provide RAII:

struct S
{
// ...

~this() {
// cleanup
}
}

2) catch and finally clauses can be used

3) scope(failure), scope(exit), and scope(success):

{
auto r = allocateSomeResource();
scope(exit) deallocateSomeResource(r);

// ...
