> I don't think you did, I think you just said it has downsides over and over.

Show evidence of your claim.

> Don't ask for basic knowledge then get upset when you get it.

Where did I ask for basic knowledge? You are hallucinating. I've repeatedly and explicitly told you to shut up explaining beginner things. You are trying to refute my criticisms of RAII with your silly explanations of how RAII works. That's not how an argument or "evidence" works.

> Exceptions aren't uncontrolled flow and you can also not use them.

I would rather call it _implicit_ flow but they also lead to losing control over control flow because of that. Yes, I can just not use exceptions, and also avoid gotos and use them in a principle way, and do cleanup in a principled way. And then I can also do without RAII and without all the baggage I'd have to buy into in order to use it.

> You don't have an explanation of why the burden of proof is on me.

Please p* off man. You're being ridiculous.

> It means memory leaks and crashes which everyone has been fighting for 50 years.

Like you have been on your Linux, Windows, or Mac machine? Maybe you are running a linux machine with an uptime of weeks, months, or even years?

> Someone running a marathon without shoes doesn't mean shoes are bad.

You claiming to run a marathon with a 25kg backpack doesn't mean you don't lie, and it also doesn't prove running without it isn't the better approach.

> Why can't you give a single basic explanation instead of making the same claim over and over?

The only person not giving explanation beyond basic boring introductory C++ RAII school, that's YOU my friend. I've been giving a lot of explanations what I think is problematic, somehow it seems you're mentally unable to acknowledge them.
