Sure, but allocating resources on the stack is not good for maintainability. Software is easier to understand if its state is not hidden in semi-permanent call

Sure, but allocating resources on the stack is not good for maintainability. Software is easier to understand if its state is not hidden in semi-permanent call stack frames.

In general I agree with you, but that seems orthogonal to the subject at hand.

  Parent's statement was that early returns are hard because you need to cleanup allocated resources. I don't think so, because there shouldn't (usually) be resources "on the stack".

    But RAII is orthogonal to auto, static, or dynamic allocation.
