The standard C++ practice for resource management is RAII, not defer. RAII is a composable abstraction, i.e. I can pile structs in structs and it still works.

I don’t know how you can prefer ‘defer’. It is, in all honestly, a clever but vile and ugly hack. Frankly, a C macro? With a lambda? Using a variable named after the __LINE__ in the code? It’s not reusable, it stays very low level, it’s brittle, hard to write (forget the ; and die). Smart people like Uri had to ask on IRC how it worked and what it was supposed to do…

But it follows this patch and requires it.
