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

C++'s answer is RAII: The object's destructor will be executed when they go out of scope. Whether by a return, by an exception or whatever. If you handle the exception somewhere else, you can be sure all objects from the called function down to your handler will be properly destructed by having their destructor called. They will clean up for you.
