But what if I have a class something like:

class    port
{
    int        port_num;

    public        port (int i)
    {
        port_num = i;
    }

    public void    open ()
    {
        OsOpenPort (i);
    }

    public void    close ()
    {
        OsClosePort (i);
    }
}

Assume that this class is accessing some hardware port via the OS, maybe a
serial port.

You would certainly like that port to be available after the application is
terminated.

How do I ensure that the close() method is called ?
It is unreasonable to expect that the application will always call the
close() method, especially if there is an error.
