It all depends on how it's implemented I guess. RAII doesn't directly have 
anything to do with exceptions (though it's a good way to write exception-safe 
code), so it would be perfectly possible to have it in a language with no 
exceptions at all, but I guess that it could be implemented in a manner 
similar to finally blocks, much as I wouldn't have expected it. I haven't 
looked at what exactly the compiler generates though, so if you've dug into 
that, you know more about it than I do.
