The RAII Idiom

The essence of the RAII idiom is that the class file encapsulates the management of any finite resource, like the FILE* file handle. It guarantees that the resource will properly be disposed of at function exit. Furthermore, file instances guarantee that a valid log file is available (by throwing an exception if the file could not be opened).
