Want GCC's cleanup attribute in Visual Studio? Here's what to do.

A common pain point for people writing cross platform C code is that they can't use GCC's cleanup attribute and by extension GLib's g_auto family of macros. I had a chat with some Microsoft people and it turns out it may be possible to get this functionality added to Visual Studio. They add features based on user feedback. Therefore, if you want to see this functionality added to VS, here's what you should do:

  1. Create a Microsoft account if you don't already have one.
  2. Upvote this issue.
  3. Spread the word to other interested people.
