typedef char *temp __attribute__ ((cleanup(free));

[Eljay Love-Jensen]

Hi Leah,

I believe the cleanup attribute is associated with the variable, not with
the type.  And not just any variable, it has to be an auto variable (not a
static variable, not a parameter).

A typedef does not define a variable, it defines a type (or, really, a
synonymous alias to a type).

But that's just my take on it, I may be mistaken.

HTH,
