No, I wouldn't do that. RAII objects are kept on the stack, and that's a bad place for polymorphism. If the F and P variants have any common code, make the base's destructor protected and non-virtual.

What do you mean it's bad practice for polymorphism?Originally Posted by CornedBee
All the Auto*Close classes are exactly the same except for the destructors; so rather than copy & pasting the same code over and over, why not just inherit an abstract base class and just override the destructor?
