in thread "goto" memory leak

Very true, it is impossible to check for scope exit. But would it be possible to check somehow (with a flag attached to the variable for example) whether the my variable already has a "destroy" POST routine on the stack or not?

    That would require extra memory for each PAD entry, and would require extra time to exit a scope, just to avoid some rare degenerate case where someone uses bad coding practices. That would be a bad tradeoff.
