Is there a favored idiom for mimicing Java's try/finally in C++?

Question

Been doing Java for number of years so haven\'t been tracking C++. Has finally clause been added to C++ exception handling in the language definition?<

Answer 1

By making effective use of destructors. When an exception is thrown in a try block, any object created within it will be destroyed immediately (and hence its destructor called).

This is different from Java where you have no idea when an object's finalizer will be called.

UPDATE: Straight from the horse's mouth: Why doesn't C++ provide a "finally" construct?
