This is only true in C, which is part of why C is less insane than C++. The two languages should not be conflated anymore.

The hacks you have listed have the advantage to be visible. Reading the code, you know whether they are called or not. The issue with cleanup on scope exit is that this introduces ambiguous code-flows. You would need to demonstrate a strong

This is Poe's law corollary. And I think that, even simply being exposed to the rhetoric will distord your view. Back when the alt-right was appearing on the Internet, I wanted to engage with the other side to get their story. The more
