Why is the constructor empty? I cannot find any multi-assignment, which
would lead to exceptions. Did you read description of cleanup usage?

This is odd. Why do you move it to the top?

Here is the usage.

cleanup.h is not always making code readable, so please avoid it if you
do not intend to read its description how it supposed to be used.
