In C that would probably be okay though: no exceptions (on programming language level) and no destructors 🤔

@m0xee You would still leak resources though, as calls to close and all can be spread through the code

Yeah, true in many cases — could probably be mitigated with proper design. I mean at least something like exception within exception handler leading to runtime abort won't happen, which, again, depending on design, might be okay or a total disaster 😂
