How is RAII a problem on embedded platforms? It is basically about scoped cleanup, something you would otherwise have to do manually.

Not sure what waa meant but what comes to mind to me who has dabbled in embedded is that in C it’s painfully clear how long “objects” live and when you tear them down and how. In C++ stuff can easily “happen” at an inopportune moment.

Same in C++: happens at the end of the scope. You precisely control where that is.
