One alternative is to make sure the Deallocate calls are injected in every if statement. I don’t think that’s any better.

Another alternative is to nest the if statements. I’m not a fan of that code style personally.

One could imagine wrapping the resource in a C++ class and have the destructor do the deallocation.

Let me know if you have other suggestions, and/or what you’d prefer.

Will do.

Cheers,
Mikael
