I see opportunities to improve affected function implementations another bit.

1. Exception handling is repeated a few times also according to memory allocation failures.
   How do you think about to use a corresponding label like “e_nomem”
   so that another bit of duplicate source code can be avoided?
   https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/MEM12-C.+Consider+using+a+goto+chain+when+leaving+a+function+on+error+when+using+and+releasing+resources

2. Will development interests grow for the usage of a statement like “guard(mutex)(&sfp->mutex);”?
