What industry do you work in? Modern RAII practices are pretty prevalent

[Cyan488]

This is common in embedded systems, where there is limited memory and no OS to run garbage collection.

[criddell]

Garbage collection in C++?

[jandrewrogers]

What does RAII have to do with any of the above?

[WD-42]

0 allocations after the program initializes.

[DashAnimal]

Well if you're using the standard library then you're not really paying attention to allocations and deallocations for one. For instance, the use of std::string. So I guess I'm wondering if you work in an industry that avoids std?

[nmhancoc]

Not an expert but I’m pretty sure no exceptions means you can’t use significant parts of std algorithm or the std containers.

And if you’re using pooling I think RAII gets significantly trickier to do.

And what does "modern" has to do with it anyway.
