It's one of my favourite techniques, the type is local and has no linkage, it should be nothing but a destructor call which is guaranteed to happen when exiting that scope. > In other places, parallel mode uses std::vector, but I guess this is > actually also discouraged for internal use, since it adds the <vector> > dependency. I don't have a strong feeling either way - for this case where the resource is just memory, std::vector would work fine. The local RAII type is more useful when you have other resources to clean up which need custom handling.
