   Well, of course I can use RAII, just that the major advantage of RAII   
   goes away, namely proper resource management in the presence of   
   exceptions. As there are not the latter, there is no need for the   
   former. If you simulate exceptions with a setjmp logic, the stack is   
   not unrolled - only jumped over - and thus destructors are not   
   called. RAII is unfortunately of limited use in such a limited   
   environment. It requires a very different programming style.

   If you don't have exceptions, and *no* exception simulation but handle   
   everything by return codes, then that is also an option, yes.
