Thanks for the explanation.  In case you didn't discover it, cocci has
a very responsive upstream mailing list:

They might be interested in if there's anything that can be done about
this.  In libguestfs, nbdkit etc we are extensively using the cleanup
attribute, and so is systemd.  I've even seen [somewhere, can't find
it at the moment] a proposal to add the equivalent feature to the next
C standard.
