Nope. It's more like

http://www.ohse.de/uwe/articles/gcc-attributes.html#var-cleanup

or, in pthread/C++ speak, just

/* 
 * See http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=8000/cujcexp1812alexandr/ 
 */ 
#define pthread_cleanup_push(routine, arg) \ 
    { \ 
      scope_guard_impl const & _guard = make_scope_guard(arg, routine); 

#define pthread_cleanup_pop(execute) \ 
      if (!execute) _guard.dismiss(); \ 
    }
