Why ? Partially constructed objects will be destroyed partially - if you are using RAII and not plain pointers.

RAII is very powerfull. One of the (only) reasons I still use C++.


How does RAII knows how far the resourse allocation has reached? How does it

Well I'm not that experienced in compiler technology.
Simplified I would describe it this way:

The compiler holds a list with pointers to the destructors of the created objects and simply calls them in reverse order, if anything goes wrong (exception) or the object is destroyed.
