The proper name for that mechanism would be "RAII" (which might be
somewhat of a misnomer, as it doesn't fully express what it means).
(In principle RAII is not incompatible with garbage collection, so
conceivably you could have both in the same language.)
According to wikipedia, C++ is not the only language using RAII, and
mentions Ada as another one. I didn't know that.
