> doesn't this violate RAII? It's C, you don't get any RAII.

  Not the Rust abstraction. If mutation is needed, you'd write closures into the interface, or provider borrows. It's definitely weird to barf out ownership of half of the fields. E: I guess it sort of depends whether the handle is Copy semantics or not. E2: I guess they're correctly leaking the resource, but I question whether they should, protections like that are kind of the whole point of using Rust to begin with.

  No, but you get defer via compiler extensions, and maybe in C2y as standard language feature.

    I seem to remember that the Linux kernel already uses __attribute__((cleanup) (which is basically GCC's non-standard defer).

      I think the Linux kernel uses most GCC extensions, and they also disable strict aliasing. :)
