Any C version and any compiler.
Nice! You can add __attribute__((unused))
before the int *a
parameter to get rid of the unused-parameter warning:
...
#define DEFER(BLOCK) void DEFER_FUNCNAME(__LINE__)(__attribute__((unused)) int *a) BLOCK; __attribute__((cleanup(DEFER_FUNCNAME(__LINE__)))) int DEFER_VARNAME(__LINE__)
Now simpler to re-use: https://godbolt.org/z/zsYre5Kfj

Did you manage to get rid of the warning: ISO C forbids nested functions [-Wpedantic]
warning?
