  use loose?          should?          work together?            an?

                                     is?


Please improve your change descriptions considerably.

How do you think about to use another goto chain for common exception handling?
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

Would you become interested in the application of scope-based resource management here?

I suggest to avoid blank lines for this function implementation.
