   Hello all,   
      
   Going forward, I'm keen to start using RAII on projects, but in order   
   to justify my future evangelism, I want to clarify a few things...   
      
   So, borrowing an example from Jon Kalb's excellent tutorial videos:   
      
   // BAD   
   {   
   	dosomething();   
   	cleanup();   
   }   
      
      
   // GOOD (RAII)   
   {   
   	CleanupType cleanup;   
   	dosomething();   
   }   
      
      
   // ????   
   {   
   	try   
   	{   
   		dosomething();   
   		cleanup();   
   	}   
   	catch (const std::exception& ex)   
   	{   
   		cleanup();   
   	}   
   	catch (...)   
   	{   
   		cleanup();   
   	}   
   }   
      
   Why is the 2nd (RAII) approach superior to the third approach?  I   
   presume there's more to it than "appearance"?  While the third   
   approach looks more complicated, it doesn't have to worry about a   
   "CleanupType"...   
      
   Regards,   
   Richard.
