Actually the majority of my problems originate from using C++ as the language that allow them to be problems in the first place and the mess of code I have to write to make those problems go away.
If I were to write a RAII wrapper in another language, Rust for example, I wouldn't remotely have as many issues as this. The struct would move on assign so no copy constructor issues. There is no inheritance so no virtual destructors and I could ensure the object couldn't live beyond the scope of the thing that owns it with lifetimes.
