> I'm trying to compile Asterisk PBX on a platform that has proprietary gcc-compatible compiler without nested functions support. Also llvm/clang is not available for that platform.
> I'm working on a source files preprocessing script that would unnest cleanup functions. But nevertheless it would require changes in original source files too.
> I'd like to know if it would be possible to propose such a patch to the mainline?
> General idea is to change the RAII_VAR macro as follows:
> ```
> #define RAII_VAR(vartype, varname, initval, dtor)                              \
>     vartype varname __attribute__((cleanup(_dtor_ ## varname))) = (initval)
> ```
> and to create additional macro:
> ```
> #define RAII_CLEANUP(vartype, varname, dtor)                              \
>     void _dtor_ ## varname (vartype * v) { dtor(*v); }
> ```
> After that, for each source file that contains  RAII_VAR-s generate separate file with RAII_CLEANUP-s for each variable, so, cleanup functions are now un-nested.
> Finally, include that generated file into original one.
> For example,
> some_file.c:
> ```
> #if defined(NO_RAII_SUPPORT)
> #include "some.file.c.raii"
> #endif
> //... later
> RAII_VAR(struct sendtext_data *, data, obj, ao2_cleanup);
> ```
> and some_file.c.raii
> ```
> RAII_CLEANUP(struct sendtext_data*, data, ao2_cleanup);
> ```
> So, original source code modifications are minimal and consist of conditionally including a generated file.
> Any thoughts are appreciated.
> But, generally, I'd like to know if I'm on my own with this modifications or it is possible to include them in the main tree.
