Clearly I haven't gotten enough of my 🍑 kicked by the standards process. So, here we go, doing Big Work all over again. The first of many larger changes for C that should've been done 25 years ago, since the days of __try/__finally.
Let's get it done. ⤵
The Defer Technical Specification: It Is Time | Björkus Dorkus | The Pasture | https://thephd.dev/c2y-the-defer-technical-specification-its-time-go-go-go
Article EDIT:
I gave Yodaiken's code too much credit. He actually made the defer version in the proposal worse, lol (loop resources are not properly freed on every go-around, which the defer proposal version fixed). Which is actually a DOWNGRADE from the original source code (that the defer proposal was improving on) too, lmfao.
@thephd doesn't it use-after-free everywhere goes like:
freeall(&x);
return h_err_from_errno(errno, x.outpluginsdirphp);
but it seems like he original does also so i must be missing something idk.
but the point about defer running after the return expression is evaluated seemed notable to me as the error is created before resources are freed
