Resource acquisition is initialization
ID: resource-acquisition-is-initialization
Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII) is a programming idiom primarily associated with C++ that ties the lifecycle of resources such as memory, file handles, network connections, and other system resources to the lifetime of objects. The core idea is that resource allocation is handled in a way that ensures the resources are automatically released when an object goes out of scope, thus preventing resource leaks and ensuring proper cleanup.
