Does anyone still feel strongly about -Wdeclaration-after-statement ?

Not all compilers support __attribute__((cleanup)). I don't know if anybody still uses Sun Studio or IBM's XLC, but I still use MSVC to build.

I, for one, am keeping a close eye on https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3199.htm , but it missed C23, so it will be years before it is standardized, and even more unfortunate years before all of the relevant compiler vendors implement it.
