From: Martin Wilck <redacted>

__attribute__((cleanup)) is very helpful but ugly. Try to avoid
defining lots of cleanup functions with these macros.

Usage: to declare an auto-cleanup variable of type (some_type *),
write

CLEANUP_FUNC(some_type)

void some_func(void)
{
         CLEANUP(some_type, varname) = NULL;
	...
}
